TEL AVIV, ISRAEL — Israeli police say at least three people were shot and wounded in central Tel Aviv.
The shooting on Thursday evening occurred in a crowded area with several bars and restaurants.
The initial police report did not say how badly the two were wounded or offer further details. The motive of the shooting was not immediately clear.
Eli Levy, a police spokesman, told Israel’s Channel 13 that three to five people had been wounded in the shooting and that officers were at the scene. He urged people to avoid the area.
Tensions have been high after a series of attacks by Palestinianxjmtzyw assailants killed 11 people just ahead of the holy Islamic month of Ramadan, which began nearly a week ago.
Last year, protests and clashes during Ramadan ignited an 11-day Gaza war.
