One person has been confirmed dead while 10 others injured as suspected shooters attack on Sunday attack the city of Beersheba in southern Israel. Violence in the region is on the increase as Israeli politicians and militant groups engage their standoffs in Gaza and Lebanon.
The MDA said that “a 25-year-old female was declared dead by medics, and ten casualties evacuated.”
Police say an attack at the central station in Beersheba occurred, and are cataloging it as a “suspected terrorist attack”.
According to a police spokesman, “Just a short time ago, a report was received at the police headquarters about a suspected shooting incident at the central station in Beersheba.” “The terrorist was neutralized at the scene, and many police forces from the southern district are at the scene,” the statement continued.
This assault is an attack coming from an assault that took place last week where gunmen attacked a mall in Tel Aviv, killing seven. It is one of the deadliest attacks the country has seen since the Hamas assault on October 7, about the same time 200 missiles were launched against Israel by Iran.
Earlier on Sunday, Israeli airstrikes had pounded a mosque in the Gaza Strip, killing at least 19 people, Palestinian officials said. The mosque, located near a hospital in the central town of Deir al-Balah, had been offering shelter to displaced residents.
The Israeli military said its strikes targeted militants, but presented no evidence for such claims.
