Are these the harbingers of the dreaded escalation during the fasting month of Ramadan, which begins March 22? At least three people were injured by gunfire in an attack in central Tel Aviv on Thursday evening. Ichilov Hospital said one of the injured was in critical condition. Israeli television reported that the Palestinian perpetrator was shot dead by police officers. Then they went looking for the killer’s accomplices.
The attack came as scores of people also demonstrated in Tel Aviv against Israel’s controversial judicial reform. The shots were fired on busy Dizengoff Street, near the site of an attack last April by a Palestinian that killed three Israelis and wounded others. A neighbor reported hearing loud screaming. “People were fleeing in all directions,” he said. “It was like the last attack – it’s a horrible feeling.”
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who is currently visiting Rome, spoke of a “serious attack in Tel Aviv”. Nevertheless, they will continue to “build in our country, root deeply in our homeland and secure our common future”. The situation in Israel and the Palestinian territories has been very tense for a long time. On Thursday morning, Israeli soldiers shot dead three Palestinian militants in a vehicle near Jenin in the West Bank.
Deadly attack on Palestinian territory
Six Palestinians were killed in an Israeli military operation in Jenin on Tuesday. The army said the dead included a Palestinian suspected of being responsible for the deadly attack on two Israeli brothers in Huwara in late February. According to media reports, he was a member of the military arm of the Islamist Hamas organization that rules the Gaza Strip.
