Two killed, 10 injured in Tel Aviv shooting
Two people have been killed and ten others injured in a shooting in central Tel Aviv, reports say.
Al-Mayadeen television network reported the shooting on Friday.

Two of the people were seriously wounded in the incident.

Sources said two Palestinians were allegedly behind the Tel Aviv attack. The fate of the two Palestinians is still unclear.

It is not clear if the shooting was related to the recent upsurge in tensions in the occupied Palestinian territories.

A Palestinian man succumbed Friday to wounds sustained in on December 8, 2015, during clashes with Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

The Palestinian health ministry said Shadi Ghabish died overnight at his home near the Jalazon refugee camp.

The ministry cited post-surgery complications after removing bullets from the 38-year-old’s body as the cause of death.

Over 140 Palestinians have been killed in the recent wave of unrest since October.

The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs has voiced concern over “extrajudicial killing” of Palestinians by Israeli forces.

The Israeli regime has imposed restrictions on the entry of Palestinian worshipers into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East al-Quds (Jerusalem). That and ongoing assaults by Israeli settlers on Palestinians and their properties have frustrated Palestinians.
