BNEI BRAK, Israel (Reuters) — An Arab gunman killed at least five people in a Tel Aviv suburb on Tuesday before he was fatally shot, the national ambulance service said, in the third deadly attack in Israel in a week.
"Israel is facing a wave of murderous Arab terror," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett tweeted after the shootings in Bnei Brak, a Jewish ultra-Orthodox city on the outskirts of Israel's commercial capital.
The shooting raised to 11 the number of people killed by Arab gunmen in Israel over the past week, the sharpest spike in attacks on city streets in years.
Amateur video broadcast on Israeli television stations showed a man dressed in black and pointing an assault rifle walking down a road in Bnei Brak.
Israeli media reports, quoting unidentified security officials, said the assailant was a Palestinian from a village near the city of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
In Bnei Brak, witnesses said the gunman began shooting at apartment balconies and then at people on the street and in a car.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service said he shot dead five people.
"The terrorist was liquidated," ambulance spokesman Zaki Heller said. Police said officers fatally shot the gunman.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack.
Israeli officials had cautioned about a surge in assaults in the run-up in April to the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, a period in which violence has surged in the past, with East Jerusalem, captured by Israel in a 1967 war, a focal point of tension.
"I live on Hashneim Street in Bnei Brak and I was at home when I heard gunshots," paramedic Menachem Englander said, according to a tweet posted by Magen David Adom. "I immediately went out to the street and saw a terrorist pointing a weapon at me. By a miracle, his weapon jammed and he couldn't shoot."
Last week, an Arab citizen of Israel killed four people in a stabbing and car ramming attack in the southern city of Beersheba, before he was shot dead by a passerby. Israeli authorities said he was an Islamic State sympathiser.
On Sunday, as an Israeli-Arab summit convened in southern Israel, an Arab assailant, a resident of a town in the north of the country, shot and killed two police officers in Hadera, a city some 50 km (30 miles) north of Tel Aviv. Other officers shot and killed him.
Islamic State claimed responsibility for the Hadera attack.
What has changed? Why this sudden wave of attacks inside Israel? Or is this more common than is generally known here in the states?
Bennett pre ocupied sticking his nose in Ukraine/Russia stouche. Wants a nobel peace prize. He better re-focus on security for Israelis or he’s finished
Biden giving $$$ and attention to the Palescumian slime.
I see. That I can believe. Unfortunately, the Dems have several current members who have made anti-Israel, anti-Jewish remarks. They are never censored or punished by Nancy.
Pelosi is their enabler,
Terrorists flush with Biden cash and Blinken assurances of their moral superiority combined with pathetic weakness by Bennett, and especially Israeli courts, have easily predictable outcomes.
Kill the mohammedan’s entire extended family. It is the only thing they understand.
It’s Ramadan on Saturday so the Muslim jihadists have called for bloodshed and notice not a peep from Biden or his cronies nothing not a peep..heck the only thing the media cares about is Ukraine and will smith

Human rights lawyer Arsen Ostrovsky slammed leftwing NGOs and the United Nations for “whitewashing” Palestinian terrorism.
“Those who rush to reflexively condemn Israel or terror around the world, but stay silent as Israelis are mowed down on the streets in violent fits of terror by Palestinians, display deafening hypocrisy and are part of the problem,” Ostrovsky said.
Terror attacks such as those carried out over the past weeks in Israel “do not occur in a vacuum,” Ostrovsky maintained.
“Such acts of pitiless slaughter are a direct result of a pervasive Palestinian infrastructure indoctrinating hate and inciting violence that are only emboldened and enabled by organizations like Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and UN Human Rights Council, who relentlessly whitewash Palestinian and Islamic terror while demonizing the State of Israel,” he said.
True
At noon, I received the number one brother-in-law, reported the police, when we brought that she would not do anything, I turned to a friend that he was close to the city of Barak, unfortunately, the result was not late to come, on its careless side. Do not know if they could have prevented, but the police did not do enough.
Biden, Harris, Obama and Blinken all said “Yes we did” !
Amnesty, Human Rights Watch and UN Human Rights Council
relentlessly whitewash Palestinian and Islamic terror
while demonizing the State of Israel.
The title “human tights” -used wrongly on the Arab-Israel issue— has been a cover for Israelophobia since the 1970s. And much worse, ever since Bassem Eid left B’tzelem in the 1990s in protest.
