TEL AVIV – A shooting in north Tel Aviv on Monday night has left one person dead and another injured.
The incident took place on Yehuda Amichai Street at approximately 10:24 p.m., according to a statement from Israel Police and Magen David Adom (MDA).
Emergency responders from MDA received a call reporting multiple casualties at the scene. Paramedics arrived shortly after to find two men in their 30s wounded, with one confirmed dead.
The second victim, who was in moderate condition, was treated at the scene before being transported to Ichilov Hospital for further care.
