At least five people have been killed in what Israeli police officials are saying is most likely a terror attack.
There have been two reported shootings this evening in different locations near Tel Aviv.
There were initial reports of a shooting incident in the Israeli city of Ramat Gan, only minutes after a reported shooting in nearby Bnei Brak.
At least five people have been gravely wounded in the multi-location attack, which is said to have been perpetrated by an assailant riding on a motorcycle.

Though all residents are being urged to stay indoors by police.
The number of Israelis killed in attacks over the past week has now risen to 11.
There was no immediate police comment. Israel’s Magen David Adom ambulance service said there were five casualties but did not give their condition.
According to the television report, the gunman first shot towards apartment balconies in Bnei Brak, an ultra-Orthodox Jewish suburb of Tel Aviv, and then fired at people in the street.
On Sunday, as an Israeli-Arab summit convened in southern Israel, an Arab assailant shot and killed two police officers in Hadera, before other officers shot and killed him.
Last week, an Arab citizen killed four people in a stabbing and car ramming attack in Beersheba, before being killed by a passerby.
Israeli authorities said he was an Islamic State sympathiser.
