At least eight dead after gunmen open fire at Tel Aviv light-rail station in on-ground attack as Iran launches missiles

Eight people have been killed after armed men opened fire on the streets of Tel Aviv.

At least seven others were wounded in the terror on Tuesday night – at the same time that Iran launched a barrage of hundreds of missiles on the Israeli city.

Magen David Adom – Israel’s national emergency services – announced that the ‘terrorist’ incident in Jaffa involved multiple casualties. 

Footage showed the gunmen getting off at a light rail station and opening fire.

According to local police, the two armed men were ‘neutralized’ by security forces.
