'PALESTINIAN COUSINS' ACCUSED OF DEADLY SHOOTING IN TEL AVIV [Graphic]
There has been a shooting in Palestine 1948's Tel Aviv, in an open-air shopping centre next to Israel's occupation forces and ministry of 'Defense' headquarters. According to different sources 3-5 people are dead.
Two men who are said to have been dressed as Orthodox Jews had opened fire at people in the centre, killing at least 3 and wounding at least 5, possibly 6.
The identity of the targeted persons is unknown at the moment. Those we have seen on photographs seem to be all adult males. There is unconfirmed claim that military personnel are among the casualties.
Israeli media is reported of having claimed that the shooters were 'Palestinian cousins'. One of the alleged shooters is said to have been captured alive, the other is, according to different sources either alive and in hospital, or dead. One of them was left laying on the ground, hand-cuffed, after apparently having been shot and wounded.
Israeli authorities are calling the shooting 'a harsh terrorist attack'. It can be assumed that Israel's government will use this incident to increase repression in the occupied territories, whether the 'Palestinian cousins' are inhabitants of 1948 Palestine or 1967 Palestine.
The wide publicity this incident is getting in global media is in stark contrast to that the killings of Palestinians by Israeli occupation receive.
