BREAKING: Israeli police say a Palestinian attacker has shot and wounded three people in central Tel Aviv. Medical workers said one of the wounded was in critical condition.
The incidents were the latest violence in a year-long wave of Israel-Palestinian fighting that shows no signs of slowing.
The Tel Aviv shooting occurred on Dizengoff Street, a popular thoroughfare filled with shops and restaurants. The city was filled with people on Thursday night, the start of the Israeli weekend, and as anti-government protests were taking place. The MADA rescue service said one of the wounded was in critical condition, while Zaka, another medical service, said the shooter was killed.
An image on social media showed what was believed to be the attacker standing in the middle of the road as he pointed a pistol. Dozens of police and rescuers rushed to the scene, which was quickly cordoned off.Earlier Thursday, three Palestinian militants were killed in a shootout with Israeli troops in the northern West Bank.
Israeli security forces said they raided the village of Jaba to arrest suspects wanted for attacks on Israeli soldiers in the area. The suspects opened fire on Israeli troops, who shot back and killed three people, all affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group, police said.
