Two men reportedly opened fire and stabbed people on train and in nearby street before being shot dead
Six people were killed and 10 wounded in a shooting and knife attack on the Israeli seaside city of Jaffa that occurred minutes before Iran launched a huge missile attack onCCTV footage showed two men, reportedly armed with an assault rifle and a knife, dressed in black emerging from a train near the light-rail stop along Jerusalem Boulevard where they opened fire on passersby as well as on a second nearby street.
Two gunmen involved in the attack were killed by security forces while police hunted for a suspected third shooter, with nearby buildings going into lockdown. Reports suggested the two dead attackers were from Jaffa and the southern West Bank city of Hebron. Witnesses described the shooting to the Israeli media. “We were on the light-rail when we suddenly heard gunfire from outside,” one witness told the Jerusalem Post.
Haaretz quoted several other witnesses. “I saw a terrorist shoot a girl who was on the floor and another girl, then I saw the terrorist shoot a man on a bicycle who fell to the floor, but I don’t think he wasn’t hurt. At that moment a civilian arrived with a gun and shot the terrorist.”
