“After the attack, dozens of Palestinians in Hebron began to celebrate the attack and fire weapons into the air, media outlets said. Also, at East Jerusalem’s emblematic Damascus Gate people celebrated the attack, which comes on the third day of Ramadan.”
At least four people died and 13 were wounded in an attack carried out Wednesday evening by two Palestinians in a popular open-air market in Tel Aviv located in front of the Defense Ministry and the Army Central Command.
Both suspects, one of them wounded by security personnel, were arrested.
The incident occurred about 9:30 p.m. at the Sarona Market, an crowded shopping center with dozens of restaurants and stores located right in front of Israel’s main military base.
According to the preliminary police investigation, the two attackers, who were said to be cousins from the West Bank city of Hebron, arrived at the shopping center, had something to drink and then produced automatic weapons, tried to enter the shopping center and opened fire on the crowd.
Seeing themselves blocked by the market’s Israeli guards, they continued shooting until they ran out of ammunition, then mixed in with the fleeing crowd and disappeared.
“I was a meter (yard) away from the terrorist, celebrating my son’s birthday and we started running … the place was full,” Meital Sasi, an eyewitness, told Channel 10 television.
Security cameras in one of the restaurants that was attacked captured the frantic flight of families with children from the scene, while two Palestinians attired in suits fired at the diners and, upon exhausting their ammo clips, apparently stabbed one of the people they had wounded.
Medical authorities said that four people died, one person was in critical condition and four others in serious shape, while the rest of the injured were suffering from slight wounds or shock.
After gathering testimony from witnesses, police said that one Palestinian was subdued at the shopping center and the second one was intercepted about a kilometer (0.6 miles) from the scene, where he was shot by a plainclothes officer.
The second attacker was taken to Ichilov Hospital.
Police ruled out the possibility of a third attacker, although initial reports had indicated a third person might have been involved.
