It was unclear if Friday's attack was related to ongoing tensions in the region. The shooting comes amid more than three months of stabbing, shooting and vehicle attacks by Palestinians against Israelis. Some<span style="color: Red;">*</span>21 Israelis<span style="color: Red;">*</span>have died and<span style="color: Red;">*</span>least 131 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli fire, 90 of them identified by Israel as assailants.
Dudi Malka, one of the owners of the bar where Friday's shooting took place, told Haaretz that the<span style="color: Red;">*</span>gunman was a "fairly short, light-skinned man holding an M16 gun."
Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai visited the injured<span style="color: Red;">*</span>in hospital and said that<span style="color: Red;">*</span>“friends were celebrating a birthday and a man opened fire at them from the outside,” the Associated Press reported. He<span style="color: Red;">*</span>added that "lessons will be learned” to improve security.

Israel's<span style="color: Red;">*</span>Channel 10 reported about 30 shots were fired, and authorities were carrying out<span style="color: Red;">*</span>a<span style="color: Red;">*</span>house-to-house<span style="color: Red;">*</span>search.
Gali Morag, who lives opposite the bar, said she heard gunfire and saw a young man dressed in black and wearing a wool<span style="color: Red;">*</span>cap running down the street, with others running after him, Haaretz reported.
"There was a huge crowd when I got to the scene," Shani Mizrachi, a paramedic told Haaretz.<span style="color: Red;">*</span>“Some of the wounded were inside the pub and others lying in the street."
