    Suspected Shooting and Stabbing Terror Attack in Tel Aviv Leaves 6 Dead

    6 Killed, 9 Wounded in Suspected Shooting and Stabbing Terror Attack in Tel Aviv

    At least six people were killed and nine others wounded in a suspected terror attack involving both shooting and stabbing in Tel Aviv on Tuesday evening, Israeli police have confirmed. The attack occurred on the Tel Aviv light rail system and continued on foot, with the assailants being killed by civilians and inspectors using personal pistols.

    Israeli authorities identified the attackers as two “terrorists” who began their killing spree aboard the light rail before moving through the streets of Tel Aviv. The suspects were later shot and killed by civilians and rail inspectors who intervened using personal firearms.

    While no group has claimed responsibility for the attack, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich stated that the assailants were Palestinians from Hebron, a city in the West Bank. In response to the attack, Smotrich vowed to push for the deportation of the suspects’ families to Gaza and the demolition of their homes, continuing his hardline stance on security measures.

    The attack took place just minutes before Iran launched a massive barrage of ballistic missiles at Israel, further escalating tensions in the region.

    Television footage captured the chaos as gunmen disembarked at a light rail station and opened fire. Israel’s Magen David Adom (MDA) ambulance service reported receiving the first call at 7:01 p.m. local time (1601 GMT), detailing multiple injuries due to gunfire. Medics and paramedics arrived quickly to provide on-site treatment to the wounded, some of whom were found unconscious.

    This attack, combined with the missile strikes, marks a significant escalation of violence in Israel and the West Bank, deepening the ongoing conflict in the region.
