A 27-year-old man is moderately wounded in a shooting incident in the central city of Bnei Brak.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it provided emergency medical care to the man, who had wounds in his upper body, but was conscious.
He was then taken to Sheba Medical Center in Tel Aviv.
Police officers have been dispatched to the scene to search for suspects.
The police are still investigating the circumstances of the incident, but said in a statement that it appears to be of a criminal, rather than terrorist, nature.
Israel has been racked for years by a violent crime epidemic, primarily but not exclusively affecting the Arab community.
