The gunman was shot dead at the scene following the attack, which has heightened tensions across the country. Eyewitness footage reportedly shows injured individuals inside a nearby McDonald’s, while Israel's ambulance service confirmed that medics treated ten victims, with one woman in serious condition.


The attack comes as Israel remains on high alert ahead of the anniversary of Hamas's October 7 assault last year, which triggered ongoing conflict in Gaza. In response to the shooting, Israel’s transport minister Miri Regev called for the deportation of families of "terrorists" to deter future attacks. This incident follows a recent spate of violence, including a shooting and knife attack in Tel Aviv that resulted in seven fatalities.


As the situation escalates, Israeli authorities are increasing security measures nationwide. The recent violence underscores the ongoing tensions in the region, with Israeli military operations continuing against militant groups amid fears of further attacks as the anniversary approaches.
