Six people have been killed in a shooting and knife attack in Tel Aviv, police in Israel have confirmed.

At least nine others were reported to have been injured, and several are in a critical condition.

Police said the attack began in a rail carriage and continued on the platform. Images posted on social media showed the gunman shooting at bystanders in the Jaffa area.

Police said two attackers were “neutralised” by members of the public and described the motive as “terror”.

      Praise god. Allahu akbar. Toda la’el. Whatever the words, this is a religious war. Israel is no different from the Crusades. I fear that until religion finally dies it will take a far more amount of humanity with it.
