Haim Sargarov, the police commander of the Tel Aviv district, told reporters that the attackers were “not Israelis.”
Israeli police said that two suspects opened fire Tuesday evening on a boulevard in Jaffa, a mixed Arab-Jewish neighbourhood in southern Tel Aviv.
Six people were killed and another twelve were wounded, before the two suspects were "neutralised."
The attack came moments before a massive barrage of rockets from Iran sent citizens across Israel into bomb shelters, according to a post on X made by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF)
“The police forces are handling the scene under a missile attack,” the police said in a statement about the shooting.
Haim Sargarov, the police commander of the Tel Aviv district, told reporters that the attackers were “not Israelis.”
The attack occurred just a day after Israel launched a ground incursion into Lebanon, following a wave of intense airstrikes in the region targeting the Iranian-backed militant group, Hezbollah.
