A man was shot multiple times while riding an electric scooter in Tel Aviv this evening, seriously wounding him. Two assailants on a motorcycle reportedly pulled up alongside him and opened fire before fleeing. The victim has been identified as the partner of a well-known Israeli social media influencer, according to reports. Police have not yet made arrests, and the motive remains unclear; the incident is being treated as criminal in nature. The shooting occurred at around 20:00 Jerusalem, hours after an earlier incident in the city—at 18:00 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that a 40-year-old man was moderately wounded in a shooting on Isaac Stern Street, and at 19:49 Jerusalem, security footage published by Israeli media showed a motorcyclist chasing and shooting a victim in a separate event. It remains unconfirmed whether the two shootings are connected. As The Zioneer previously reported on Jun 21, electric scooter riders have been involved in violent incidents in Tel Aviv, including a hit-and-run involving a bicycle. Law enforcement has not issued an official statement on tonight's shooting, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The investigation is ongoing. The credibility of the initial reports was based on single-channel accounts; by 19:49 Jerusalem, corroborating footage emerged. The victim's identity as a influencer's partner has been reported but not officially confirmed.
