Potential terror attack near Tel Aviv, multiple people injured in shooting

Fox News’ Trey Yingst reports the latest on the alleged terror attack near Tel Aviv as fears of a direct Iranian attack continue to mount.

At least six civilians have been killed and nine injured in a shooting in the Israeli city of Jaffa, located near Tel Aviv, local officials have told Fox News.

The incident, which is believed to be a terror attack, took place Tuesday outside a newly built light rail station on Jerusalem Street.

Authorities say at least two individuals who opened fire on a crowd of people have been “neutralized.”

Shortly after the shooting, Israel faced more attacks with Iran launching roughly 100 ballistic missiles. 

Many were intercepted by Israel’s missile defense systems, while others did hit the ground.

Iran had previously threatened to launch missiles at Israel. 

The Iran Revolutionary Guard issued a statement saying that it was a response to the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah.
