Gunman opens fire at Tel Aviv bar, 2 killed
Print Edition
A GUNMAN opened fire at a popular bar in the central Israeli city of Tel Aviv yesterday afternoon, killing two and wounding at least three others before fleeing the scene, police said.
The police said the motive for the attack, which took place on a busy main street in central Tel Aviv, was not clear and it was not known if the attacker was Palestinian or if it was a gangland shooting.
A spokeswoman said five people were wounded, two of whom died in hospital. She said a massive manhunt was on for the shooter.
The attack comes amid more than three months of almost daily Palestinian attacks against Israeli civilians and soldiers. On the Israeli side, 21 people have died, mostly in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks. At least 131 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, 90 of them identified by Israel as assailants.
