Two people were shot dead and six others wounded in a shooting at a crowded pub on 130 Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv on Friday afternoon in what is suspected to be a terror attack.
Two of the wounded have been hospitalized in serious condition. Two more were moderately wounded, one lightly-to-moderately wounded and another lightly wounded.
Israeli forces were searching for the shooter, who fled the scene. Armed security forces are conducting a massive search in Tel Aviv.
A police spokesperson from Tel Aviv District Police said: “We received a report of a shooting incident. Large forces arrived on the scene and forces are searching for the shooter.”
Many residents of Tel Aviv are staying inside their homes while the shooter remains at large. The police spokesperson emphasized that there have been no orders for residents to remain in their homes, but that anyone seeing anything suspicious should report it to the police.
Newly sworn-in Israeli Police Chief Roni Alsheikh went to the scene, as did Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai said that while it is still not certain whether the background to the attack was national or criminal, it appeared to be nationalistically-motivated.
Some of the injured were hit by glass shards broken by the bullets, and some were wounded from the chaos that broke out, said Yehuda Hildeshaim, a volunteer with United Hatzalah.
“When I got to the scene I found one person who was critically wounded and unconscious after being shot. Several of us from the Hatzalah unit gave him first aid and he was evacuated to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.
“Following that we continued to treat other wounded at the scene.”
One witness told an investigator that the attacker fired around 10 shots. “It sounded like a Kalashnikov. He had a grey coat and he was alone. He was a big man with a stocking over his head. He shot from north to south and then continued on.”
Avi, who lives close to the scene of the attack, said: “I heard something like 10 shots. I was next to one of the cafes. I saw people running in the street and wounded sprawled on the street.”

are you stupid what else would it be a american killing israelies
I’m not quite sure why everyone is so quick to call this a terrorist attack, just because it happened in Israel. Since when do terrorists wear stockings on their heads or run away before they are out of bullets?
Where are the plain clothed cops?
“…what is suspected to be a terror attack.” Suspected? What else could it be?
Yimach shmam!!!!!!
