An Italian tourist has been killed and seven other people injured in a suspected car-ramming attack near a beach in Tel Aviv, Israeli medics say.
Italy's foreign minister said Israel had identified the man killed as Italian citizen Alessandro Parini, 36.
A doctor told Israeli television the wounded included three British nationals and one other Italian, BBC reports.
Footage from the scene showed an overturned car near a promenade and an Israeli police officer opening fire.
Local police said the suspected attacker was shot dead by officers.
The attack came after two British-Israeli sisters were killed and their mother injured in a shooting in the occupied West Bank earlier on April 7.
Police in Tel Aviv said a 45-year-old man drove a Kia car along the city's beachside boardwalk, hitting several pedestrians before overturning on the lawn of the Charles Clore Garden.

Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni expressed her "deep sorrow" at Mr. Parini's death and described the attack as "cowardly".
Mr. Parini worked as a lawyer in Rome, Italian media reported.
Following the incident, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu mobilised police and army reservists as part of efforts to counter terrorism.
