Israeli paramedics say at least five people have been killed in a shooting in the central city of Bnei Brak, east of Tel Aviv.
The circumstance of the incident were not immediately clear. The shooting on Tuesday (Wednesday, AEST) took place two days after a shooting in the city of Hadera that left two police officers dead, and a week after a stabbing in the southern city of Beersheba in which four people were killed.
The attacks have raised concerns that there could be further violence.
Police said Tuesday's shooting took place at two locations, apparently by a gunman riding a motorcycle.
The militant Islamic State group claimed responsibility for both attacks in the past week, in which the assailants were killed.
The Islamic State group claimed Sunday's attack in Hadera, as well as a stabbing rampage in southern Israel last Tuesday in which four people were killed. Police shot and killed the two gunmen, and the stabber was shot and killed by a passerby, police said.
This is a developing story, more to come ...
