Five killed in shooting attack in Israel

Five people were killed in gun attacks Tuesday near the Israeli coastal city of Tel Aviv, emergency responders said, in the third fatal gun or knife spree in the Jewish state in a week.

Residents of the ultra-orthodox town of Bnei Brak and the neighbouring town of Ramat Gan reported that a man had driven around and opened fire at passers-by, and Israeli police later said security forces killed the assailant, The AFP reported.

“We unfortunately have to note that five people have died,” said Eli Bin, head of the Magen David Adom emergency responders, revising upward a death toll of two from shootings in two locations in Bnei Brak.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he would convene an emergency meeting with top security officials to review the situation.
