Shooting in Tel Aviv

TEL AVIV - At least three settlers, Jewish extremists, were injured, one seriously, when a Palestinian youth opened fire on them in the coastal city just hours after Tel Aviv military forces killed three Palestinians in the last incursion into the occupied West Bank. In various videos released on social networks, the crackling of gunfire is clearly heard and people flee in panic. Then you can see other people flocking to the place. According to the Israeli police, Thursday evening a 23-year-old Palestinian - apparently a member of the resistance - shot at the settlers stopped in front of a bar, on the central Dizengoff street - in the past already the site of other anti-Zionist attacks - near Ben Gurion street. He then fled the scene before being killed in a shootout with police officers a short time later. He was later identified as 23-year-old Mutaz Salah al-Khawaja, a Palestinian from the West Bank city of Ni'lin who had been jailed twice by Israeli forces. Al-Khawaja was shot dead by four armed people, including two Israeli policemen who were at the scene. Two others, a Jew and a reserve officer, officials said.
