Netanyahu Says Israeli Police Inspector Killed in Tel Aviv Shooting
21:23 GMT 05.08.2023 (Updated: 21:28 GMT 05.08.2023) TEL AVIV (Sputnik) - A police inspector was killed in a shooting in Tel Aviv on Saturday, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praising the 42-year-old for preventing a major attack with his body.
"I commend the personnel of the Tel Aviv-Yafo Municipality security patrol for their alertness and for engaging, thereby thwarting a much more serious attack," the premier said in a statement.
The gunman, identified as a 27-year-old Palestinian from the Israeli-occupied West Bank, was fatally shot by another officer and died in a hospital.
