Multiple people have been killed in a shooting in the Orthodox Jewish suburb of Bnei Brak, just outside Tel Aviv.

According to the Jerusalem Post, as many as four people are believed to have been killed after a man on a motorcycle opened fire on passersby.

The attacker was killed by police and medics from Magen David Adom are on the scene.

Bnei Brak mayor Avraham Rubinstein told bystanders to allow rescuers to make their way to the scene and to stay away from the area.

There was also reports of another attack In Ramat Gan.

This comes just days after a spate of terror attacks across Israel including an attack which left four dead in Be'er Sheva last week.
