Israel: Suspected terror attack in central Tel Aviv
JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli security forces say they have killed a Palestinian man who opened fire into a crowded bar in central Tel Aviv and killed two people.
They say the attacker was tracked down after an overnight manhunt and killed in an exchange of fire. It was the fourth deadly attack in Israel by Palestinians in less than three weeks and came at a time of heightened tensions around the start of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan.
Protests and clashes in Jerusalem during Ramadan last year ignited an 11-day Gaza war. On Friday, tens of thousands of people attended weekly prayers in Jerusalem, with no immediate reports of unrest.
