DHAKA: Two Palestinian gunmen killed four people and wounded six others after opening fire at a popular open-air shopping and restaurant area of central Tel Aviv, capital city of Israel.

Quoting authorities, BBC reports the matter.

The attacks took place in two locations in Sarona Market, close to Israel’s defence ministry and main army HQ.

Police said the gunmen were from Yatta, a Palestinian village near the West Bank town of Hebron.

Both are in custody. One is undergoing surgery in hospital, police added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who visited the scene of the attack late on Wednesday (local time), called it “a savage crime of murder and terrorism”.
