Video shows moment of Tel Aviv shooting

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai rushed to the scene of the pub shooting.

In a subsequent Twitter update, Rosenfeld said that “building[s] and apartments [are] still being searched”.

The assailant escaped the scene and a manhunt was underway to capture him, with parts of Tel Aviv in lockdown.

These pointers provide room for speculation about the hand behind the attack, plus the Koran the gunman dropped in mid-flight. The shooting was captured on video from a shop next door. Until then, the coming hours are fraught with danger because the killer may strike again.

Cops detained one suspect, but said the shooter remains at large.

At least two people were killed and five others wounded in a shooting at a crowded pub in central Tel Aviv on Friday, Israeli police spokesperson Micky Rosenfeld said. They have cast a wide net to hunt the killer in the neighboring streets up to the seaside promenade.

“The newspaper also reported that Milkham may have become radicalized after he witnessed an Israeli police officer shoot and kill his cousin; the Mail said the officer was convicted in the murder case, but did not say when the killing happened or offer additional details”.

It was not yet clear whether the attack was an act of terrorism or was criminal in nature.

Israeli media reported a copy of the Quran was found in a backpack left at the scene. She said she was smoking a cigarette outside and walked back into her salon about two minutes before the shooter opened fire. According to another, he escaped on a motorbike. They all agreed that he was extremely calm.

None of the local Palestinian terror groups have claimed responsibility for recruiting the shooter, though Hamas did openly praise the fatal attack on unarmed cafe patrons in the heart of Tel Aviv. Police have not confirmed witness accounts about what the attacker was wearing.
