"It has been a very difficult night. I send my condolences to the families of those who were murdered and I pray for the complete recovery of the wounded," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement.

"Security forces are in pursuit of the terrorist who carried out the murderous rampage tonight in Tel Aviv. Wherever the terrorist is - we will get to him. And everyone who helped him indirectly or directly - will pay a price," he added.

According to the police, a shooter was still at large and hundreds of policemen including border police forces were launching a massive manhunt across the city.

Levi asked the residents of Tel Aviv to "stay home, lock the door, and avoid standing on the porch."

The Israel police described the suspect as possibly a thin person wearing a black shirt and black shorts. Police said the man was likely armed with a pistol.

They also released a picture of a man and asked the public for help identifying him.
