At least eight dead in suspected terror attack shooting in Tel Aviv: Israeli police

At least eight people were killed when suspected terrorists opened fire near Tel Aviv on Tuesday, Israeli police said.


The deadly ordeal unfolded when two gunmen jumped off a train in the central Israeli city of Jaffa and started firing just after 7 p.m. local time, according to authorities.


The Magen David Adom ambulance service said eight were killed and at least seven wounded, the Jerusalem Post reported.


Chilling surveillance footage captured the men brandishing rifles as they emerged from the train, while the bodies of blood-soaked victims were strewn on the ground nearby.


The two shooters were “neutralized” by security forces, police said.


Police are treating the train station incident as a suspected terror attack.

Paramedics were still on the scene treating the wounded — including two people who were unconscious and in critical condition, the ambulance service said.


Meanwhile, police were also investigating concerns of another terror-related incident at a hotel in the Herzliya section of the city.


It wasn’t immediately clear if the two incidents were connected.


Cops haven’t disclosed any further details about the second incident.


The shooting came just hours after Israel launched a ground invasion against Hezbollah in Lebanon and the terror group retaliated by firing off dozens of rockets — including targeted attacks on the Mossad spy agency and a military base near Tel Aviv.
