Three killed when two gunmen opened fire in Israel

Israel suspends Palestinian permits after Tel Aviv attack

Israel has suspended entry permits for more than 80,000 Palestinians after two gunmen killed four people and wounded at least six others in Tel Aviv.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attack at the Sharona open-air market on Wednesday but the gunmen are believed to be Palestinian.

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has visited the scene and described the attacks as "cold-blooded murder".

He also said the government would "take the necessary steps to attack the attackers and to defend those who need to be defended".

Three people have been killed in a shooting in Tel Aviv when at least two gunmen opened fire, according to Israeli police.

There were reports of shooting in two locations close to the popular open-air Sharona market on Wednesday night, spokeswoman Luba Samri said.

Channel 10 TV said reports indicate that at least one of the attackers was disguised as an ultra-Orthodox Jew with black coat and hat.

Another spokeswoman, Meirav Lapidot, said initial reports showed there were "at least two terrorists".

She said both were "neutralised", which can mean either killed or detained.

Police are searching the area to make sure there are no other attackers or possible bombs.
