4 Isreali's gunned down in Tel Aviv market

A gun attack by two Palestinians at the popular Sarona Market in Tel Aviv witnessed the killing of four Israeli’s and the wounding of five others.

The shooting which occurred at the market near Israel’s defence ministry and main army headquarters happened on Wednesday night.

Reacting to the attack, which saw the injured victims taken to the nearby Ichilov Hospital, Israel has suspended entry permits for 83,000 Palestinians during the holy Muslim month of Ramadan.

Israeli police initially said that there was only one attacker, but Meirav Lapidot, a spokesperson, later said two attackers had been captured after carrying out what appeared to be “a terrorist attack”.

One of the shooters was taken in for questioning, and the other, who was injured, was taken to hospital.
