Police kills gunman who shot and wounded 3 people in Tel Aviv

Jerusalem: Three people were shot and wounded in Tel Aviv on Thursday night in what Israeli police said could be “a terrorist attack”. Police killed a  gunman who shot and wounded three people in Tel Aviv on Thursday night, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir said. “A serious attack in Tel Aviv… I congratulate the police officer who, in a courageous act, eliminated the heinous terrorist and saved many lives,” Ben-Gvir said in a statement. The shooting took place on Dizengoff Avenue, a popular nightlife spot in the centre of Tel Aviv, where a Palestinian attack killed three people in April 2022. Police said “a suspect shot at a pedestrian before being neutralised by officers”, while Israel’s Magen David Adom emergency response service said the three wounded were rushed to hospital. “We evacuated the three with gunshot wounds, one of them in critical condition, one seriously wounded, and one lightly wounded,” Magen David Adom director Eli Bin told Israel’s Kan television.
