Seven people were murdered in a terror shooting attack in Tel Aviv's Jaffa quarter on Tuesday evening. Another nine people were injured with varying degrees of severity. Six victims were pronounced dead on-scene while a seventh victim succumbed to their wounds in the hospital. An initial investigation into the attack suggested that two terrorists got off a light rail and opened fire at a group of people on the street.

Security forces eliminated the two terrorists. The injured were evacuated by Magen David Adom (MDA) teams to Edith Wolfson Medical Center in Holon and Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Tel Aviv. The police dismissed suspicions of other terrorists being present at a hotel in Herzliya.

Israel Police Commissioner Daniel Levy arrived at the scene of the attack. "At this stage, we’re aware that eight civilians were murdered by gunfire from weapons carried by the two terrorists. There are also injured individuals in various conditions. The two terrorists have been neutralized on-site. Large police forces are at the scene conducting extensive searches to act on any further suspicions,” the police said in a statement.

Moti, the owner of a kiosk near the scene of the attack scene, said, "We heard continuous bursts of gunfire in all directions. We rushed outside in panic and saw several figures running down the street, possibly the terrorists. It was hard to watch." Roy, who was in a nearby supermarket, recounted, "The terrorists shot at a store indiscriminately. Then I saw them running toward north Jaffa. The entire street was filled with wounded."
