Two people are shot and wounded in Beersheba in what appears not to be a terror-related incident.
Police say that two people were brought to Soroka Hospital in the city with gunshot wounds in serious and moderate condition. Hebrew media reports indicate that the victims are in their 20s.
The shooting took place in the industrial area of the city, and police say they have opened an investigation and are gathering evidence at the scene while searching for the perpetrators.
A spokesperson for Soroka says the seriously wounded victim is currently undergoing surgery, and the other victim is being treated for gunshot wounds to his arms.
