JERUSALEM: At least six people were killed and nine wounded in a suspected shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, Israeli police said.
They said that two persons started a killing spree on the Tel Aviv light rail and continued on foot before being killed by civilians and inspectors using personal pistols.
The attack took place minutes before Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel.
TV footage showed gunmen getting off at a light rail station and opening fire.
Israel’s MDA ambulance service said it received a report at 7:01 p.m. (1601 GMT) of people injured by gunfire.
Medics and paramedics provided on-site medical treatment to a number of wounded people with varying degrees of injuries, including some who were unconscious, MDA said.
