At least five people were killed when a Palestinian gunman opened fire on pedestrians in multiple municipalities near Tel Aviv on Tuesday.

Kann, Israel's government-run radio service, said the attack took place Tuesday evening where Bnei Brak, a largely haredi Orthodox municipality, runs into Ramat Gan, a Tel Aviv suburb. The attacker shot people as he traveled down a thoroughfare. There were casualties in both municipalities.

Kann, quoting security sources, said the assailant was a Palestinian from the West Bank and that the police had killed him.

Reports said that the gunman in some instances got off of a motorcycle and shot at people, shouting at them to "stop," in Hebrew.

There have been two other deadly attacks inside Israel over the past week, killing six people. Tuesday's attack brings the week's total of fatalities to 11.

The two other attacks were allegedly carried out by Israeli Arab citizens who identify with the Islamic State. The most recent attack, two days earlier, was reportedly spurred by a historic summit this week, in which Israel hosted four Arab foreign ministers.

Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has convened top security officials on Tuesday.

The attacks come in the leadup to Ramadan, the Muslim holiday when tensions are often heightened around prayer spaces in Jerusalem. Israeli police and Muslim worshipers clashed for weeks around the same time last year.

Israeli soldiers return fire and kill at least 2 Palestinians in raid as tensions continue to mount

Israeli soldiers shot and killed at least two Palestinians after being fired at in a raid on a West Bank refugee camp on Thursday, in the latest instance of rapidly escalating tensions across Israel.

Troops entered the Jenin camp to arrest suspects allegedly connected to the terror attack that left five Israelis dead in and around Bnei Brak on Tuesday, the Israel Defense Forces said, and to subdue others who were suspected of carrying out future attacks.

The IDF claims multiple gunmen shot at the Israeli troops, who returned fire. The IDF announced three Palestinian deaths, while the Palestinian Health Ministry announced two. Over a dozen more were injured.

Hamas, the group that controls the Gaza Strip and frequently engages in military conflicts with Israel, said Thursday's raid called for an "escalation" of activity.

The Jenin camp has historically been a hotspot for Israeli-Palestinian clashes; in 2002, dozens of Palestinians and Israeli soldiers were killed when IDF troops attempted to enter the camp during the Second Intifada.

Separately on Thursday, a 30-year-old Palestinian man wielding a screwdriver seriously injured a 28-year-old Israeli man on a bus near the Neve Daniel West Bank settlement south of Jerusalem.

The IDF said that the attacker was shot and killed by a fellow bus passenger. After the morning incident, Palestinian media reported that the Israeli military searched the assailant's hometown, which reportedly triggered clashes between locals and troops.

Several attacks by Arabs against Israelis over the past week, including the one in Bnei Brak, have left a total of over 10 dead. Israeli officials fear that the upcoming Ramadan holiday, during which Muslim worshippers clashed heavily for weeks with Israeli police last year, could lead to further violence.

Retired army general says Israel must acknowledge risk of heavily armed Arab population launching full-scale effort to destroy the Jewish state.

Retired army general says Israel must acknowledge risk of heavily armed Arab population launching full-scale effort to destroy the Jewish state.

Retired IDF brigadier-general and former housing minister Effi Eitam warned Tuesday that Israel is currently facing a violent uprising among Arab citizens of Israel, with their ultimate goal being to dismantle the Jewish state.

"We need to tell ourselves the truth: We are in the midst of an Arab revolt, an Islamic-nationalist revolt against the idea of Israel as the state of the Jewish people," Eitam told Army Radio on the heels of two deadly terror attacks that left six Israelis dead within less than one week.

"They hold [Israeli] citizenship and have equal rights in everything, but they are separatists."

Speaking about the hundreds of thousands of weapons stolen from IDF bases and police stations over the last decade, which are in the hands of tens of thousands of Arabs, Eitam said that Israel is now struggling to manage a hostile fifth column with enough firepower to pose a serious danger to national security.

"These 200,000 'good' Arabs don't need guns. The [Arab] sector is building a military force against the state, Israeli Arabs are becoming a separatist population," he said.

"We may face a situation in which citizens of the country rebel against its authority and its sovereignty, including armed underground movements...We're going to see an arms race between Israelis and Arab citizens – an absolute failure of the police to maintain order."

This was not the first time Eitam has warned about the dangers of a heavily armed Arab population in Israel.

In an August 2021 interview with Israel Hayom, Eitam said that Israel was "obviously" losing sovereignty in the southern Negev desert and in the northern Galilee region and that there was "no good reason" for Arabs in those areas to have so many firearms at their disposal.

Eitam was a top military official who played a critical role during the 2005 Israeli disengagement from Gaza. However, he told Israel Hayom that if could go back in time, he would find a way to prevent the evacuation.

"We were told that Hamas would engage in construction and rehabilitation [in Gaza]...and that if even one missile flew into Israel, we would easily go in [militarily] and lay down the law," he noted.

He characterized the disengagement as "a crime against the [Jewish] residents [who lost their homes in the evacuation], but mostly a crime against the truth."
