According to i24, two men opened fire in the Jaffa neighborhood, located in central Tel-Aviv, murdering eight people and injuring seven.
I’m also seeing six or five murdered, too. I’m going to stick with the i24 report since I watched its report on a livestream.
The incident occurred at a light rail station in the Jaffa neighborhood, causing panic among bystanders.Preliminary reports indicate that two assailants exited the tram and immediately opened fire on the crowd. Eyewitnesses described a scene of chaos, with continuous gunfire echoing in all directions. Emergency services, including Magen David Adom (MDA), quickly arrived on the scene, transporting the injured—some in critical condition—to Wolfson Hospital in Holon and Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv.Police confirmed that the two attackers were “neutralized” at the scene, effectively halting the violence. Authorities also addressed rumors regarding additional attackers at the Sharon Hotel in Herzliya, clarifying that there was no threat of a coordinated assault.
According to The Jerusalem Post, police believe another terrorist is still on the loose.
A few eyewitnesses spoke about the shooting:
Eyewitnesses described the terror and chaos. “We were on the light rail when we suddenly heard gunfire from outside,” one witness said. “At first, we thought it was fireworks, but then we realized it was something much worse. There were many gunshots. We dropped to the floor, and people were crying. I saw someone bleeding on the ground.” A nearby shop owner added, “I saw crowds of people running and shouting ‘terror attack.’ I quickly closed my shutters and locked up.”
Iran bombing Israel has taken over the news cycle so not much information about this attack has come out.
