TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — Israeli police say a Palestinian gunman opened fire on a crowded street in central Tel Aviv, wounding three people before he was shot and killed. The shooting late Thursday came hours after an Israeli military raid killed three Palestinian militants in the occupied West Bank. It’s the latest violence in a year-long wave of Israel-Palestinian fighting that shows no signs of slowing. The Tel Aviv shooting occurred on a popular thoroughfare filled with shops and restaurants at the start of the Israeli weekend and as anti-government protests were taking place. One of the wounded was in reported critical condition, while authorities said security forces in the area quickly killed the shooter.
