Man shot in central Tel Aviv, suspect collared, motive likely criminal

A man has been rushed to a hospital after being shot in central Tel Aviv, authorities say.

The motive of the shooting is under investigation, but officials believe that it is related to domestic crime and not terror, according to a police statement. A suspect is arrested a short time later.

The victim, 63, suffers a gunshot wound to his abdomen. Police say the man is in serious condition, but the Magen David Adom rescue service lists his condition as moderate.

The shooting took place on Yehuda Halevi Street, just south of the city center.
