A shooting in Israel's commercial hub Tel Aviv left a man in critical condition Saturday, authorities said, with police reporting the suspected assailant was shot by an armed municipal officer.
The attack comes amid a surge in violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and a day after a 19-year-old Palestinian was killed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
Tel Aviv police said a gunman had opened fire at a municipal inspector in the city centre, who according to the Magen David Adom emergency service was taken to hospital "in critical condition".
"Another municipal inspector responded swiftly and managed to neutralise the terrorist," police said, adding that "significant police forces are present at the scene".
Violence this year linked to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has killed at least 207 Palestinians, 27 Israelis, one Ukrainian and one Italian, according to an AFP tally compiled from official sources on both sides.
They include, on the Palestinian side, combatants as well as civilians and, on the Israeli side, three members of the Arab minority.
