Members of Israeli Zaka Rescue and Recovery team clean blood from the site of a shooting attack In Tel Aviv on Thursday. The bar attack was the latest in a string of deadly street assaults that have killed 13 people. (Ariel Schalit/The Associated Press) The officers found the shooter hiding near a mosque in Jaffa, just south of Tel Aviv, Israel's Shin Bet security agency said. During an exchange of fire, the attacker was killed, the agency said. Shin Bet identified the gunman as a 28-year-old Palestinian from Jenin, a city in the occupied West Bank, who was in Israel illegally. Late on Thursday, at the start of the weekend in Israel, the attacker entered a pub on a crowded main street of Tel Aviv and began shooting, killing two people and seriously wounding three before fleeing. Residents were warned not to leave their homes as hundreds of Israeli security officers, assisted by a helicopter with a spotlight, combed the streets.
