The attack took place minutes before Iran fired a missile at Israel.
At least six people were killed and nine wounded in a suspected shooting and stabbing terror attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday, Israeli police said.
They said two “terrorists” began the killing spree on the Tel Aviv light rail and continued on foot before being killed by civilians and inspectors using personal pistols. No one has claimed responsibility, but Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smutrich said he was a Palestinian from the West Bank city of Hebron.
The hardline Smutrich said he would demand from the cabinet that the suspects’ families be deported to Gaza and their homes destroyed.
The attack took place minutes before Iran fired a missile at Israel.
TV footage showed the gunmen disembarking at the light rail station and opening fire.
Israel’s MDA ambulance service said it received reports of gunshot wounds at 7:01 p.m. (1601 GMT).
The MDA said medical personnel and paramedics provided on-site treatment to several injured with varying degrees of injuries, some of whom were unconscious.
