The camp is a hotbed of political and militant activity in the northern West Bank. The two Israelis killed by the gunman were men in their late 20s, according to Israel’s emergency services. Bennett announced late Thursday his government would scale up security forces in Tel Aviv, in addition to the already increased numbers of forces recently deployed throughout Israel and the West Bank. Last week, Bennett called on licensed Israelis to carry arms after a Palestinian man went on a shooting rampage in a suburb of Tel Aviv, killing five people. Videos posted on social media showed emergency workers loading victims onto stretchers and working to clear debris as helicopters shone a spotlight from above. The gunman was found and killed in a shootout with Israeli police at around 6 a.m. Friday morning near a mosque in central Jaffa, a mixed Jewish-Arab neighborhood south of Tel Aviv. He was identified as Raed Hazem, 29, and was staying in Israel without a permit from the Jenin refugee camp. TEL AVIV — A Palestinian gunman was killed by Israeli police after fatally shooting two Israelis and injuring at least 15 others at a popular pub in central Tel Aviv Thursday night, Israeli authorities said.

Aliyah and Integration Minister Pnina Tamano-Shata is in the region with a delegation of Jewish Agency and Keren Hayesod leaders.

“We will continue to extend our hand to the Ukrainian people. I’m extremely proud of the efforts made by our Jewish Agency team who have been working around the clock since day one of this dreadful war to save Jewish lives.” Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, as many yas 30,000 calls have been received at the Jewish Agency hotline, 400 rescue buses have been organized out of Ukraine, more than 70 aliyah flights have landed in Israel and the Agency has processed more than 10,000 olim from Ukraine and Russia, according to the statement.

Une nouvelle attaque armée a fait au moins deux morts et de nombreux blessés jeudi soir 7 avril dans le centre de Tel-Aviv, endeuillant encore Israël après ...

Dans la foulée de ces attaques, l’armée, la police et les services de sécurité intérieurs israéliens ont arrêté des dizaines de personnes soupçonnées de lien avec l’organisation État islamique en Israël, et multiplié les opérations en Cisjordanie occupée, notamment à Jénine, secteur du nord de ce territoire palestinien d’où était originaire l’assaillant de l’attaque de Bnei Brak. Jeudi soir, le mouvement islamiste palestinien Hamas a « célébré » une « opération héroïque » et le Djihad islamique a « salué » une attaque qu’il considère comme une « réponse naturelle » aux « crimes » d’Israël, dont le raid récent à Jénine. Au terme d’une chasse à l’homme de plusieurs heures, les services de sécurité israéliens ont annoncé vendredi matin 8 avril avoir tué l’assaillant. « Le terroriste qui a perpétré l’attaque armée hier à Tel-Aviv a été localisé et neutralisé », ont-ils indiqué, précisant que l’homme, un Palestinien de la Cisjordanie occupée, était près d’une mosquée dans le quartier de Jaffa. Le premier ministre Naftali Bennett a tenu des entretiens avec les hauts responsables de la sécurité du pays au terme desquels il a décidé de « renforcer » la présence des forces de l’ordre à Tel-Aviv. La Magen David Adom, l’équivalent de la Croix-Rouge israélienne, a indiqué que 16 blessés avaient été transférés dans des hôpitaux locaux après cette attaque qui s’est déroulée sur la rue Dizengoff, connue pour ses bars et ses cafés. « Nous avons reçu plusieurs blessés graves avec différents types de blessures, principalement à la poitrine, à l’abdomen et certains au visage (…) malheureusement deux d’entre eux sont décédés et nous menons actuellement un combat pour sauver des vies », a déclaré le directeur de l’hôpital Ichilov de Tel-Aviv, Ronni Gamzu.

The situation is “appalling,” posted Ambassador to Israel Dimiter Tzantchev on Twitter before adding that “the E.U. stands with Israel.”

I am keeping Israel and the families of those killed in today’s shooting in Tel Aviv in my thoughts today and praying for the swift and full recovery of those injured. In these dark hours we stand by the people of #Israel. “Horrified to see another cowardly terror attack on innocent civilians, this time in Tel Aviv. Praying for peace, and sending condolences to the victims and their families. We are closely following developments and will continue to be in regular contact with our Israeli partners, with whom we stand resolutely in the face of senseless terrorism and violence,” he said.

Another shocking terror attack on innocent people, this time at Dizengoff St in Tel Aviv. It’s desperately sad to say it again: deepest condolences to the victims and their families and hopes that the injured recover quickly. The terror attack on Dizengoff Street, a popular area with shops, restaurants and cafes, is the fourth deadly attack in a little more than a month. He added that the situation is “appalling,” and that his “thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. “Deeply worried about reports about another terror attack against Israeli civilians, this time in the heart of Tel Aviv,” tweeted E.U. Ambassador to Israel Dimiter Tzantchev.

The shooting came amid heightened tensions after a series of deadly attacks carried out by Palestinians. The militant Hamas group ruling Gaza praised the attack ...

Two days earlier, a shooting attack by two Islamic State sympathisers in the central city of Hadera killed two police officers. The recent attacks appear to have been carried out by lone assailants, perhaps with the help of accomplices. This street has been the scene of several deadly attacks over the years. “It’s an atmosphere of war,” said Binyamin Blum, who works in a restaurant near the scene. The hospital said two people had died and it was treating another eight who were wounded. Officers found the man hiding near a mosque in Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, Israel’s Shin Bet security agency said.

Israeli security forces say they have killed a Palestinian man who opened fire into a crowded bar in central Tel Aviv and killed two people.

Israel annexed east Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally and considers the entire city to be its capital. Palestinians say such attacks are the inevitable result of a nearly 55-year military occupation that shows no sign of ending. Israel withdrew soldiers and settlers from Gaza in 2005. All of the attackers appear to have acted individually or with minimal support from a small cell. Thursday’s shooting took place in a crowded bar on Dizengoff Street, a central thoroughfare that has seen other attacks over the years. Protests and clashes in the holy city during Ramadan last year eventually ignited an 11-day Gaza war.

Israeli security forces on Friday shot dead a Palestinian who killed two people in a Tel Aviv bar after an hours-long manhunt through the city.

Israel annexed east Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally and considers the entire city to be its capital. Three of them are believed to have identified with the extremist group Islamic State. But militant groups do not appear to have trained them or organized the attacks. The Jenin refugee camp was the scene of one of the deadliest battles of the second Palestinian intifada, or uprising, 20 years ago. Thursday’s shooting took place in a crowded bar on Dizengoff Street, a central thoroughfare that has seen other attacks over the years. “The price that we will extract from the attackers and those who send them will be heavy.” Protests and clashes in the holy city during Ramadan last year eventually ignited an 11-day Gaza war.

At least two people were killed and four others wounded in a shooting on Thursday in the Israeli capital Tel Aviv, Israeli officials said.

The week before, an IS supporter killed four people in a car-ramming and stabbing attack in the southern city of Beersheba. The Hadera and Beersheba attacks were carried out by Palestinian citizens of Israel. The recent attacks appear to have been carried out by lone assailants, perhaps with the help of accomplices. Israel annexed east Jerusalem in a move not recognized internationally and considers the entire city to be its capital. But along with neighboring Egypt, it imposed a crippling blockade on the territory after the militant Hamas group seized power from rival Palestinian forces two years later. The shooting took place on Dizengoff Street, a central thoroughfare that has seen other attacks over the years. Police said there were “indications” it was a politically motivated attack – the fourth deadly assault in Israel in less than three weeks at a time of heightened Israeli- Palestinian tensions.

The officers found the shooter hiding near a mosque in Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said. Late on Thursday, at the start of the weekend in Israel, the attacker entered a pub on a crowded main street of Tel Aviv and began shooting, killing two people and seriously wounding three before fleeing. Israeli security forces on Friday shot dead a Palestinian man suspected of killing two people in a Tel Aviv bar after an hours-long manhunt through the city.

As IDF marked anniversary of landmark success against Palestinian militants, Israelis were gunned down in Bnei Brak. Is Israel learning the right lessons?

The overwhelming majority of the attacks stemmed from Palestinian-controlled areas, and it was clear that the IDF would play a central role in combatting the threat. Financial support from readers like you allows me to travel to witness both war (I just returned from reporting in Ukraine) and the signing of historic agreements. This allowed the Shin Bet and IDF intelligence to track suspects and pick up signs that indicate a potential attack. That hasn’t stopped Prime Minister Naftali Bennett from trying to find some use for the organization that ground down the Palestinian terror campaign in the early 2000s. Today, young Palestinian attackers are usually often not members of terrorist groups, and attacks are rarely carried out on the orders of commanders. The praise of such attackers, and their treatment as martyrs on social media, is another important motivator for young attackers. In March, the IDF’s History Department and the Defense Ministry published Ohad Leslau’s “ Operation ‘Defensive Shield’: From Containment to Decision” to coincide with the anniversary. The lessons learned in the West Bank continue to shape IDF counterterrorism doctrine and the way Israeli leaders think about combatting terrorism. In June 2002, for the first time, security forces foiled more attacks than were actually carried out, and the positive trend continued through 2005, generally seen as the end of the intifada. A series of ramming attacks hit Jerusalem in 2008-9, and again in 2014-15. Attacks like the June 2021 Dolphinarium bombing in Tel Aviv, which killed 21, and the August bombing of Sbarro in central Jerusalem, which left 15 dead, shook Israel to its core, but weren’t enough to convince the Sharon government — or the George W. Bush administration in Washington DC — that a major military campaign was needed to gain control over the situation. “Operations that stop terror daily are the continuation of the operation,” Kohavi said at an event in late March marking the anniversary of the offensive.
