Tel Aviv gunman still on the run

Security camera footage showed the suspect pulling a weapon from his backpack and shooting.

The two dead were identified as Alon Bakal, 26, manager of the bar, and 30-year-old Shimon Ruimi from the southern Israeli city of Ofakim.

Around 30 shots were reportedly fired during the attack.

It is thought that the suspect may have stolen the weapon used in the attack from his father, who is a volunteer police officer.

Mr Milhem was detained by police in 2007 after attacking a soldier with a screwdriver and trying to grab his gun.

During questioning he is believed to have said he wanted revenge for the death of a cousin allegedly killed by police in 2006.
