A deadly shooting incident has killed at least two people in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, leaving at least five others injured, according to Israeli police.
The attack, which targeted a pub on Dizengoff Street in central Tel Aviv, took place on Friday afternoon, Micky Rosenfeld, Israeli police spokesman, told Al Jazeera by telephone.
"The background is still unclear at the moment and we are still searching Tel Aviv for the suspect," Rosenfeld said.
He said it was unclear whether the attack had "criminal motivations" or was related to the ongoing escalation of violence between Israelis and Palestinians.
CCTV footage the incident, which Al Jazeera could not independently verify, was posted on Twitter. It depicted the shooter opening fire with an automatic weapon as pub patrons jumped for cover.
In a post on Twitter shortly before at least one death was confirmed, Israel's emergency medical service, Magen David Adom, posted a picture that showed blood splattered on the sidewalk in front of the bar.
Speaking to Israel's army radio, the bar owner said that "a man with automatic weapon arrived and started shooting people all over the place".
