An Italian tourist has been killed and seven others injured after a suspected terrorist attack near a beach in Tel Aviv, Israeli doctors say.

Italy's foreign minister said Israel had identified the person killed as Italian national Alessandro Parini.

Footage from the scene showed an overturned car near a promenade and an Israeli police officer opening fire, writes the BBC.
Local police said the suspected attacker was shot dead by officers.

The attack comes after two British-Israeli sisters were killed and their mother wounded in a shooting in the occupied West Bank earlier on Friday.

Police in Tel Aviv said at 21:25 local time (19:25 BST) a 45-year-old man drove a Kia along the city's beach promenade, hitting several pedestrians before overturning on the lawn of the Charles Clore Garden.

They said a police officer at a nearby gas station heard the commotion and, after running to the scene, saw the driver of the car "trying to grab a gun that was in the car" and then "neutralized him".

The Israeli Ambulance Service said that, in addition to the suspected perpetrator, there were a total of eight victims of the attack and that all were tourists.

Of the injured, three suffered moderate injuries and four suffered only minor injuries, he said.

Writing on Twitter, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her "deep sorrow" at Mr Parini's death and described the attack as "cowardly".

After the incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mobilized police and army reservists as part of efforts to fight terrorism, his office said.

Netanyahu has also visited the site of the shooting in the West Bank.

The attacks came hours after the Israeli military carried out airstrikes on targets belonging to the Palestinian militant group Hamas in southern Lebanon and the Gaza Strip.

The military said the strikes were a response to a barrage of 34 rockets fired from Lebanon into northern Israel on Thursday, which it blamed on the group.

Tensions are rising after two nights of Israeli police raids on Jerusalem's al-Aqsa mosque, Islam's third holiest site, earlier this week.

The raids sparked violent confrontations with Palestinians inside the mosque and sparked outrage across the region.

Rockets fired from Lebanon formed the largest barrage in 17 years.

Hamas did not confirm it had fired the rockets, but leader Ismail Haniyeh, who was visiting the Lebanese capital Beirut at the time, said Palestinians would not "sit idly" in the face of Israeli aggression.
