At least two terrorists opened fire on Israeli citizens in central Israel Tuesday afternoon, reportedly killing at least eight people and wounding seven others just as Iran began launching a massive missile attack on the Jewish state.

The terrorist gunmen opened fire near a rail station in Jaffa, located in the southern part of Tel Aviv-Yafo.

"Two terrorists who were observed exiting the train were shot dead by security forces," according to the Jerusalem Post. Videos from the scene showed several bodies lying on the ground. A police spokesperson said that "both terrorists have been neutralized on site," with police forces "present and conducting extensive searches for any additional threats."

Paramedics reportedly treated "a number of casualties in varying conditions," including those who were unconscious at the scene.

The terror attack occurred just before Iran launched a wave of missiles at Israel, kicking off a new phase of combat between the Jewish state and Tehran's terror forces across the region. Hezbollah also bombarded Israel with missiles prior to the Iranian volley, straining Israel's air defense systems.

American military forces are stationed in the region to help Israel defend against Iran's missile strikes, though the full weight of the attack remains to be seen.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
