JERUSALEM — At least six people were killed and nine wounded in a suspected shooting and stabbing terror attack in the Tel Aviv area on Tuesday, Israeli police said.


They said that two "terrorists" started a killing spree on the Tel Aviv light rail and continued on foot before being killed by civilians and inspectors using personal pistols.


The attack took place minutes before Iran launched a barrage of missiles at Israel.


TV footage showed gunmen getting off at a light rail station and opening fire.


Israel's MDA ambulance service said it received a report at 7:01 p.m. of people injured by gunfire.


Medics and paramedics provided on-site medical treatment to a number of wounded people with varying degrees of injuries, including some who were unconscious, MDA said.
