TEL AVIV — Five
people were killed in attacks on Tuesday near Tel Aviv, emergency responders
said.
“We unfortunately have to
note that five people have died,” said Eli Bin, the head of the Magen David
Adom emergency responders.

In earlier remarks, he had
put the death toll from shootings in two locations of the ultra-Orthodox town
of Bnei Brak at two.
A separate attack took
place in the neighboring town of Ramat Gan, medics and witnesses said. It was
not immediately clear what weapon, or weapons, were used in the third attack.
The attacks come after a
shooting on Sunday that killed two Israeli police officers in the northern city
of Hadera.
Sunday’s attack was later
claimed by the Daesh — its first claim of an attack on Israeli territory since
2017.
Israeli police had said
that the two perpetrators of the Sunday attack were killed at the scene.
Last week, a convicted Daesh
sympathizer killed four Israelis in a stabbing and car-ramming spree in the
southern city of Beersheba.
