Five people have been wounded in a gun rampage in the central Israeli city of Petah Tikvah.

The suspected terrorist is a 19-year-old resident of the northern West Bank, according to police.

The incident took place near the city's open-air market.

Medics from Magen David Adom emergency responders treated three people injured by gunshot wounds to their lower bodies.

Alon Rizkan, one of the medics, described the scene after the attack as “chaos,” with people shouting and fleeing.
