This is the 4th deadly Palestinian terror attack in Israel in the past two weeks, coming in conjunction with Ramadan, the Muslim holy month. It took place on a crowded street in Tel Aviv, bustling with bars, restaurants, shops, and cafes.
Times of Israel Two people were killed and several were wounded as a gunman opened fire on a bar in central Tel Aviv Thursday evening in a deadly terror attack, the latest eruption of violence to strike Israel in recent weeks. The shooting took place on Dizengoff Street, turning an area crowded with people out for Thursday night at bars, restaurants and cafes lining the popular thoroughfare into a scene of chaos and panic.
Four others were listed as critical and were undergoing surgery, according to the hospital. Two were seriously injured, and two were mildly hurt. Another four people with mild injuries were taken to Wolfson Hospital in Holon and Sheba Hospital at Tel Hashomer.
As the street filled with ambulances and rescuers, police carried out searches for the gunman, who witnesses said fled the scene and disappeared into nearby alleys, going door to door and telling people to stay inside and lock their doors.

The attack began when the gunman walked up to Ilka, a popular bar with a large outside seating section, and opened fire.
“We dove under the tables and people started crying, it was horrible,” said Evelyn Gertz, 34, who was having dinner next door.
Security camera footage from the scene showed people at Ilka knocking over chairs and tables in a rush to get away.
A worker at Ilka told Channel 12 news that he saw at least two attackers, at least one of whom opened fire with a pistol. Police later said they believed there was only one terrorist; reports said he was a West Bank Palestinian. Later they released a picture of a man in blue jeans and a black jacket and asked the public for help identifying him.
The attack was the latest to rock Israel after a string of shootings and stabbings in late March left 11 people dead in a single week, the deadliest outbreak of terrorist violence since 2006.
Witnesses described chaos at the scene as the gunman fired at diners, with people out for a Thursday night — the unofficial start to the weekend — sprinting for cover amid panic.
UPDATE! Muslim terrorist who carried out murderous attack in Tel Aviv has been located and eliminated by Israeli Security in Jaffa.
The terrorist, a Palestinian Arab from Judea and Samaria, was located by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) while hiding near a mosque in Jaffa and was eliminated during an exchange of gunfire with Shin Bet and fighters from the Yamam counterterrorism unit.
Overnight, Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv announced that the surgical operations on four of the 14 people wounded in the attack had concluded. The doctors were able to stabilize the condition of the wounded. The condition of one of them, who arrived in critical condition, is now listed in critical condition and three others are now listed in serious condition.

And true to form, thousands of Muslims join march of support and praise to the home of the dead terrorist in Jenin.
INN When the name of the terrorist responsible for the deadly Tel Aviv shooting attack became known, along with the location of his residence, public address systems were heard calling out, “Allahu akhbar,” playing “nationalist” songs, and announcing support for the terrorist and the “heroic action” which he carried out in “Tel Al-Rabia,” the Arab name for Tel Aviv, the Jewish city founded in 1909 on bare stretches of sand dunes near Jaffa.
Terrorist Ra’ad Hazam was eliminated by Israeli Shin Bet security forces early Friday morning.
Thousands came from Jenin and the surrounding villages, marching towards the home of the terrorist’s family in order to express support. On social media, they wrote, “Allah’s victory is achieved through blood.” On one Telegram channel affiliated with Arab terror organizations, terrorist Ra’ad Hazam was called, “the lion of the [Al-Quds] troops.”

The only redeeming news from this story is that Israeli forces wiped the dog shit pali from the heels of their boots.

Thanks CI, I will update the post.

I am of the thinking the leaders of Israel are weak. These attacks are a daily thing and the citizens are the sheep for slaughter.

Ramez E. Fekry Soliman says
It goes without saying that the only ‘good’ Moslem is a dead one!
I wish all Islamocritical Jews would follow in the footsteps of Baruch Goldstein, the “Eternal Jew” who had dispatched dozens of Moslems to Hell before he met his Maker.
