The perpetrators members of the al-Makhamreh (المخامرة) Hamula[12] were dressed in suits.[13] Both were neutralized by police.[14] One suspect was taken to Ichilov Hospital in serious condition, from injuries suffered from gun fire.[15]

The suspects in the attack, both 21,[16] entered the country illegally[17] but did not have any previous criminal record[17] and were stopped by the police following the attack.[18] One of them was shot, and treated in Ichilov hospital and the other was arrested.[19] Both suspects were in Israel without permits and had not been seen for several days prior to the attack.[20] They are believed to have entered into Israel through a hole in the security fence, between the towns of Tarqumiyah and Meitar.[21]The two suspects are cousins[22] from Yatta near Hebron.[18] They may have used a homemade machine gun to carry out the attack.[22]

Israeli police are searching for a possible third suspect who is believed to have fled the scene.[22]

Both perpetrators are cousins of Fatah military wing leaders and their uncle serves time in jail[23][24][25]

Khalid al-Muhamra, 21, is a Hamas member who studied at the Al-Karak Jordanian military academy, and arrived for Ramadan vacation.[26] His peers described that he attended electrical engineering and was an honors student and came from a family associated with Fatah.[27]

Muhammad Ahmad Moussa Makhamreh, 21, was not identified as a member of any group[28] but Hamas have stated both perpetrators had been its members.[17]

The al-Makhamreh hamula had several other members of its clan associated with acts of violence in the Israeli Palestinian conflict.[29][30] At least one of its member had been released during the Gilad Shalit prisoner exchange.[30]

Reactions

Journalists set up outside of the Max Brenner cafe in Sarona Market, following a shooting in June, 2016

Early the next morning, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan visited the scene of the attack, and Netanyahu vowed to respond.[31][32] In response to the attack, Israel canceled all Friday travel permits from Gaza to Jerusalem, to pray during Ramadan, as a form of collective punishment.[33]

The Israeli cabinet had relinquished all work permits for the al-Makhamreh Hamula and requested a closure around Yatta.[34][35] In addition a request to create a new section of the Israeli West Bank barrier had been made.

Following the cabinet meeting, Israel had announced it will not return attackers' bodies [36]

Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai blamed the Israeli government for “ongoing incitement through acts of repression, expulsion, liquidation, and expropriation.” Stating that ending the occupation will bring peace. Adding that the current oppressive Israeli government army in past months has killed Palestinians without any public outcry.[37]

Hamas has praised the attack, releasing a cartoon depicting the attack as a Ramadan treat and suggested more attacks are likely to occur during Ramadan.[38] Fireworks were set off in Gaza and Hebron in celebration of the attack.[39] The United Nations Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Nickolay Mladenov, issued a statement of shock in response to Hamas' reaction.[40] Initially Hamas claimed that both perpetrators had been Hamas members[41]

Fatah, said in a statement that the Tel Aviv shooting was an “individual and natural response” to Israeli state violence.

The media committee head Munir al-Jaghoub said:

“Israel must realize the consequences of its persistence to push violence, house demolition policies, forced displacement of Palestinians, raids by Israeli settlers to the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound, and the cold-blooded killing of Palestinians at checkpoints.”[42]

The United States, State Department, condemned the shooting, called it a "horrific terrorist attack."[43] Hilary Clinton stated that she stands with Israel, and emphasized her unwavering support.[44]

The United Kingdom ambassador to Israel, David Quarrey condemned the incident stating there is "no possible justification for terrorism."[45]
