Israel boosts security after four shot dead in Tel Aviv

Tel Aviv - Both gunmen arrested after opening fire to people dining at cafe

Israel clamped down on Palestinian movements and boosted security on Thursday after two Palestinians shot dead four people at a popular Tel Aviv nightspot, the deadliest attack in a months-long wave of violence.
Surveillance video seemingly from the moment of the attack that spread online showed the two men, dressed in black suits and ties, calmly walking into a cafe before pulling out guns and opening fire on its terrace.
Most patrons fled in panic, though some fought back at the cafe at Sarona Market in Israel's commercial capital.
Five people were wounded in addition to the four killed.
With the attack causing shock among Israelis, officials said they were suspending entry permits for 83,000 Palestinians during the holy month of Ramadan in a move that was likely to further stoke tensions.
Those killed were all Israelis, identified as Ido Ben Aryeh, 42; Ilana Nave, 39; Michael Feige, 58; and Mila Mishayev, 32, police said.
Police said one of the attackers was arrested, while the other was wounded by gunfire and had undergone surgery.
They were identified as Khaled Mohammad Makhamrah, 22, and his cousin Mohamad Ahmad Makhamrah, 21, both from the Hebron area in the occupied West Bank. The market and complex of bars and restaurants is located across the street from Israel's defence ministry and main army headquarters.
Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the scene after returning from Moscow and conferred with senior colleagues, including newly installed hardline defence minister Avigdor Lieberman. "We discussed a range of offensive and defensive steps which we shall take in order to act against this phenomenon," Netanyahu's office quoted the premier as saying.
A spokesman for Hamas called the attack a "heroic operation".
One of Israel's first responses was to revoke tens of thousands of entry permits.
"All permits for Ramadan, especially permits for family visits from Judea and Samaria to Israel, are frozen," said a statement from Cogat, the defence ministry unit which manages civilian affairs in the occupied West Bank.
It said that 83,000 Palestinians would be affected, adding that hundreds of residents of the Gaza Strip who had received permits to visit relatives and holy sites during Ramadan would also have access frozen.
Cogat also froze permits for 204 relatives of one of the alleged attackers.
