The incident began last night at around 9:30 PM when a motorcyclist opened fire at a Mercedes-type vehicle.

The sounds of gunfire created a lot of panic in the area, and many residents fled to hiding places.

There were no casualties from the shooting, and damage was caused to a nearby business due to the escape of its occupants and not as a result of the bullets.

Large police forces arrived in the area and searched the area.

Two suspects were initially arrested, but they were released after it became clear that they had nothing to do with the incident.

"Following the report of a shooting in Tel Aviv, from a preliminary investigation it appears that a number of shots were fired at a vehicle that was traveling on Dizingoff Street with no injuries, the background to the incident is criminal," the police statement said.
