Israeli authorities say that an attack in Tel Aviv has injured multiple people after a car rammed into a group of people.

The attack happened on Friday and police say that a car hit a group of people in Tel Aviv near a seaside park and flipped over, authorities say. The driver of the car was shot by police.

The Israeli Foreign Ministry said the incident was a “terror attack.”

Israel’s rescue service described the Friday incident as a shooting attack.

Hamas praised the Tel Aviv attack as a response to Israel’s “crimes against Al-Aqsa Mosque and worshippers.”

The attack comes at a time of increased tensions between Israel and Hamas and as the Jewish Passover began on Wednesday. The Muslim holy month of Ramadan is also continuing.
