Terrorist shooting attacks have been reported at several sites in central Tel Aviv Thursday night.
According to preliminary reports, two people people have been killed and eight wounded, up from earlier estimates of six wounded.
“At 9:00 p.m., MDA’s 101 call center in the Dan Region received reports of multiple victims wounded in shootings at multiple locations, including on Dizengoff Street, Gordon Street, and nearby, in Tel Aviv,” an MDA spokesperson said Thursday night.
“MDA paramedics are providing treatment to a number of wounded victims with varying degrees of injuries at the scene.”

Is the Israeli government financing terrorism against its own citizens? Did Gantz break the law when transferring “advance payments” and “loans” to the Palestinian Authority earlier this year? These were some questions posed to the Ministries of Defence and Finance by the Litigation Department of the Kohelet Policy Forum two months ago, which just received a worrying response.
According to Israeli law, any payments made by Israel to the Palestinian Authority must deduct the amount that the PA paid in the previous year to terrorists or their families. These payments, known colloquially as “Pay For Slay,” are fixed pensions paid by the Palestinian Authority to terrorists, including Israeli citizens, as direct compensation for the murder of Jews.
“Remember what Amalek did to you on the way as you were coming out of Egypt, how he met you on the way and attacked your rear ranks, all the stragglers at your rear, when you were tired and weary; and he did not fear God.” Deut. 25:17-18
The payment amount is determined by the number of people killed in the attack and the severity of the terrorist’s sentence. A murderer (or his family) can receive a sum that equals five times the average salary in the Palestinian Authority.
After months of silence, the Ministry of Finance just sent a cryptic response stating that “it had made a deduction in accordance with the law.” However, it did not explain how the “advance payments” and “loans” conform to the law and offered no legal source that could justify them.
The ruling coalition party teeters after a member of Bennett’s own party left after a dispute over Passover kashrut in Israeli hospitals. One rabbi cited an ancient esoteric text which described just such a situation as a harbinger of the Messiah.
You shall not eat anything leavened with it; for seven days thereafter you shall eat unleavened bread, Deuteronomy 16:3 (The Israel BibleTM)
The coalition of Prime Minister Naftali Bennett lost its narrow majority when Idit Silman, the leader of the coalition and a member of the Knesset for Bennett’s Yamina party, announced that she will join the opposition over her objections to a Health Ministry instruction that hospitals not enforce kashrut restrictions during the upcoming Passover holiday.
Health, issued a letter to hospitals in Israel ordering them to allow patients and visitors to bring chametz (leavened food) into the hospitals during the eight days of Passover. His letter came after 2020 the High Court ruling that hospitals cannot ban patients, visitors, and others from entering with food products that are not kosher for Passover during the holiday.
Horowitz, who is openly gay, is from the far-left Meretz party and has been accused of objecting to Orthodox Jewish observance. He has initiated legislation that challenged rabbinic supervision of marriages while also calling for same-sex marriages.
Silman expressed anger over the letter that would allow Israeli hospitals to violate the Passover holiday, saying that she was concerned Israel was losing its Jewish character.
“When a minister in the government says that chametz should be allowed [in hospitals], he is disrespecting 70 percent of the public,” Idit Silman said during a debate of the Knesset’s Labor, Welfare, and Health Committee.
Torah law forbids the eating of leavened food during Passover and prohibits any leavened products from being found on any Jewish-owned premises. The punishment is karet (being cut off from the Jewish people).
