TEL AVIV – March 30 (ONLINE) A gunman killed at least five people in Israel’s Tel Aviv suburb on Tuesday before he was fatally shot, the national ambulance service said, in the third deadly attack in Israel in a week, Reuters News Agency reported.
The news agency reported that gunman was allegedly an Arab.
“Israel is facing a wave of murderous Arab terror,” Reuters quoted Israel’s Prime Minister Naftali Bennett as tweeting after the shootings in Bnei Brak, a Jewish ultra-Orthodox city on the outskirts of Israel’s commercial capital.
The shooting raised to 11 the number of people killed by Arab gunmen in Israel over the past week, the sharpest spike in attacks on city streets in years.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the killing of Israeli civilians and stressed that the killing of Israelis and Palestinians would only lead to a deterioration of the situation, cautioning against retaliatory attacks by Jewish settlers and others, Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.
