One man was killed and another injured in a Jaffa shooting on Friday evening. Police said the incident took place on Yefet Street and the two men were taken to the nearby Wolfson Medical Center in Holon.

The hospital later announced that one of the men had died and the other was in a moderate condition.

An investigation has been opened into the shooting, and a gag order has been imposed on the details surrounding the case.

In September a 5-year-old boy was left in a critical condition and two men were moderately and lightly injured in a shooting on the city’s Mahrozet Street.

The boy suffered a head injury and one of the men received a leg injury. The lightly injured man was said to be a relative of the child.

Hebrew-language media reported that shooting was part of a wider conflict between criminals.
