Israeli media reported on Saturday a shooting operation in the "Nachalat Binyamin" neighborhood in "Tel Aviv" that left one Israeli settler killed.

Earlier, the media cited Israeli occupation police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai as saying that an Israeli "municipal security guard" was critically injured in a shooting on "Montefiore Street" in "Tel Aviv" on Saturday afternoon. The Israeli occupation Army Radio also indicated that one of the injured was in a "hopeless" situation.

Shabtai indicated that another "security guard" chased the shooter and shot him before the latter was transferred to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

The Shin Bet identified the shooter as 22-year-old Palestinian Kamel Abu Bakr from the town of Rummanah, near Jenin, who had been pursued by the Israeli security establishment for allegedly opening fire at Israeli soldiers in the occupied West Bank.

The Israeli Channel 13 indicated that the operation was "surprising for the police and the Shin Bet, especially since it took place on Saturday" at a time when that area is witnessing a huge number of settlers getting ready for the anti-judicial overhaul protests for the 31st week in a row.
