HAMAS’S military wing claimed responsibility today for a mass shooting in Tel Aviv that left seven people dead and 16 wounded.

The Palestinian resistance organisation said that Mohammed Mesek and Ahmed Himouni, the gunmen who carried out the attack, were from the southern West Bank city of Hebron.

Israeli police said the two had opened fire on Tuesday evening in the Jaffa district of Tel Aviv, with their targets including a light rail carriage crowded with passengers that had stopped at a station.
