TEL AVIV (Sputnik) — Earlier in the day, individuals opened fire on a bus earlier before fleeing the scene, The Jerusalem Post reported. Later, the attackers were engaged in a shootout with police which saw an Arab-Israeli man seriously injured.
The incident comes a day after a Palestinian man was shot and killed after he allegedly stabbed 11 people in Tel Aviv. One of the victims, a US tourist, was later confirmed to have died in the attack.
The attack coincided with a visit by US Vice President Joseph Biden to Tel Aviv late on Tuesday. Biden was expected to arrive in the city at around the time Tuesday's stabbings began.
Some 30 Israelis and several foreigners have been killed in knife, gun or vehicle attacks, believed to be carried out mostly by Palestinian youths, since September 2015.
