Deadly Shooting in Jaffa Shakes Tel Aviv
In a shocking turn of events, Israeli police reported that two suspects unleashed a hail of bullets on a bustling boulevard in Jaffa, a vibrant mixed Arab-Jewish neighborhood nestled in southern Tel Aviv.
The aftermath was grim, with seven individuals tragically losing their lives and twelve others left wounded in the wake of the violence, before the perpetrators were ultimately “neutralized.”
But the chaos didn’t stop there. In a terrifying escalation, a deluge of rockets from Iran rained down on Israeli soil, forcing citizens to seek refuge in bomb shelters across the nation, as confirmed by a post shared by the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF).
As the situation unfolded, the police found themselves caught in the crosshairs, with a missile attack intensifying the already tense atmosphere at the scene of the shooting.
Haim Sargarov, the esteemed police commander overseeing the Tel Aviv district, addressed the media and revealed a chilling detail: the attackers were identified as being “not Israelis,” adding another layer of complexity to the unfolding crisis.
Shockingly, this violent incident occurred just a day after Israel initiated a ground incursion into Lebanon, a move that followed a series of relentless airstrikes aimed at dismantling the stronghold of Hezbollah, the Iranian-backed militant group that has long been a thorn in Israel’s side. — Euronews
