Two Palestinian gunmen opened fire in central Tel Aviv Wednesday night, killing three people and wounding at least five others, Israel police said.
Tel Aviv district police commander Moshe Edri said there was shooting in two locations close to the popular open-air Sharona market
“This was a harsh terror attack. Two terrorists opened fire at civilians,” Edri said, adding that both attackers were detained and one was being treated for a gunfire wound.
Police had initially said there might be a third attacker but later ruled that out.
Meital Sassi told Channel 10 TV she was out with her family celebrating her son’s birthday when she heard shots and “immediately understood it was a terror attack.”
“We ran like lighting with the baby and the stroller,” she said. “I yelled at people who didn’t understand what was happening to run.”
Police said the two gunmen were members of the same family from the Palestinian village of Yatta, near the West Bank town of Hebron, which has been a flashpoint for violence during a recent wave of unrest.
Israel has been struggling to cope with eight months of Palestinian attacks, mostly stabbings, that have killed 31 Israelis and two Americans. About 200 Palestinians have been killed during that time, most identified as attackers by Israel.

The more dead in Tel Aviv the better. Zionists die. Christian or Others.
Time for the yearly returning justification of the summer assault to kill more Palestinians and steal more territory.
The Israelis do everything possible to provoke these attacks. I’m surprised this sort of thing doesn’t happen more often.
If they didn’t catch and identify one of them, I’d have guessed it was a false-flag.
Either way, it’s nice to see the Palestinians fighting back.
They will have to forgive me if I don’t drop down in tears, but when palestinians are systematically attacked and murdered by israel AND IT’S SETTLER “CITIZENS” in their own land and homes and the world watches and BLAMES them, for some reason I don’t have any. It is a bad thing that there may be israelis who are against israel’s actions who get caught up in this. But according to israel, that’s called collateral damage. And I agree, the yearly justification is at hand.
