At least two people were killed today and four were injured in a shooting in central Tel Aviv, which police called a terrorist attack, quoted by Cannes radio, world agencies reported, quoted by BTA.

A large number of ambulances arrived at the scene, and police ordered residents not to leave their homes.

"The terrorist opened fire at close range and then fled," police spokesman Eli Levy told Channel 13 television.

"Don't go out of your homes. Don't go out the windows. Don't go out on the balconies," the spokesman added.

Is Islamic State behind last week's attacks in Israel?

Israel's Red Shield Service (Magen David Adom) said its ambulances had transported six people in critical condition to hospital.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett is at the army headquarters in Tel Aviv, where he received the latest information about this fourth attack in just over two weeks in Israel, his office said.

Last week, a Palestinian from the occupied West Bank opened fire on a crowd passing through the Jewish and Orthodox town of Bnei Brak, killing five people, including two Ukrainians and an Israeli police officer of Arab descent.

A few days earlier, two police officers, including a young Israeli of French descent, were killed in a shootout in the northern Israeli city of Hadera, for which the Islamic State (IS) jihadist group claimed responsibility.

On March 22 in Beersheba, a large city in the southern Negev desert, four Israelis were killed in an attack by a teacher sentenced in 2016 to four years in prison for planning a trip to Syria to fight for the Islamic State. press
