Pub shooting leaves two dead in central Tel Aviv

While many Muslims in Israel speak out against violence and aspire to uphold law and order in their communities, Netanyahu said, there is “wild incitement by Islamic extremists against Israel in the Arab sector, incitement in mosques, and incitement in the education system and incitement on social media”. The defense was quick to ask the court to reject the appeal for fear that they would lose valuable time in the investigation.

Boaz Bismuth, who runs the paper’s foreign coverage, records his experiences as resident of Tel Aviv during the past tension-filled days, and stresses that for all of the city’s cosmopolitan image, it is still linked integrally to the fate of Israel at large, for good and for bad.

Alon Bakal, 26, and Shimon Ruimi, 30, were both killed in the attacks.

Police are also attempting to determine if another incident in the Tel Aviv area was related to the attack on Dizengoff Street, Rosenfeld told CNN.

Haim Pinto, who owns a jewelry store close to the pub, said in a phone interview that he had been outside when the shooting began.

Sami Melhem, the suspect’s uncle and a lawyer, said he called authorities after he recognised his nephew in surveillance footage.

He added: “I am anxious and I want to hear that he is in police hands”. “He was brown haired, wearing a grey sweater and fled the scene”, he told AFP.

The attack on the busy terrace comes six weeks after coordinated jihadist attacks in Paris at bars, a concert hall and the Stade de France stadium, and has sparked comparisons between events in Tel Aviv and the French capital. She said she was smoking a cigarette outside and walked back into her salon about two minutes before the shooter opened fire.

On the Israeli side, 21 people have died, mostly in stabbings, shootings and car-ramming attacks.

Furthermore, al-Quds and al-Ayyam reported that Israeli settlers, protected by Israeli forces, attacked a Palestinian taxi driver near the illegal Israeli settlement of Mabo Dothan, southwest of Jenin.
