Two people have died and and seven others have been injured after a gunman opened fire with an automatic rifle at a bar in Tel Aviv, Israeli police say.

Security forces have launched a huge manhunt for the gunman, cordoning off areas of the city.

The incident took place in Dizengoff Street in the city centre.

It was not immediately clear what motivated the shooting, which follows a wave of Palestinian attacks against Israelis over the past few months. Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told the BBC: "It's not clear what the background of the incident is, if it's a terrorist attack or if it's criminal-related."

4. Palestinians have been seething with anger and frustration...

These past few months seems like a prelude to something big.
I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out to be a Third Intifada.

6. I think a third infitada would be totally futile right now.

The entire Arab world, and the larger world as a whole, is entirely focused on ISIS. The Intifada strategy is most successful when the arab populace has nothing else to focus their anger on.

Just my opinion though, feel free to disagree.

7. Could very well be futile from strategic point of view

But if it happens, then it happens. And no one will be able to stop that without casualties.
I just don't know how long they could live with this utter despair.

8. the first two worked out so well

where are the grownups?

[question everything]

9. at least the Israeli police is cautious of whether it was a terrorist attack or criminal

I remember when the Oklahoma City attack, immediately some speculated that it was foreign terrorists. And this was before 9/11.

(It was an act of terror, locally grown and bred..)
