Two terrorists were neutralized after opening fire on Jerusalem Boulevard in Tel Aviv-Jaffa on Tuesday night, killing eight people and leaving seven wounded, the Times of Israel reports.
Israeli media showed photos of the terrorists with rifles exiting the Tel Aviv Light Rail in Jaffa, a neighborhood in the southern part of Tel Aviv. The attack came shortly before Iran launched more than a hundred ballistic missiles at Israel on Tuesday.
