Jerusalem: Two people were killed and at least five others wounded when an unidentified gunman opened fire today in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, police and medical officials said.
An eyewitness told TV Channel 1 television the assailant used an automatic weapon against people at a pub.
Police said the motive for the shooting -- which came amid a wave of Palestinian attacks on Israelis in recent weeks -- was not immediately known and that the attackers remained at large.
"Police units searching Tel Aviv area for suspect who carried out shooting. All injured taken to Tel Aviv hospitals," police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld wrote on Twitter.
