we'll leave it there. dw reporter stacy evans on the story force. thank you. in israel, a palestinian gunmen has opened fire on a crowded street in central tel aviv wounding 3 people before being killed by israeli police. the militant palestinian group, hamas has claimed the shooter a 23 year old from the west bank as its member. prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called it a terror attack. at our teresa correspond, tonya kramer spoke to us earlier and gave us these details of the shooting, which came on the same day that so mass protests in israel against a government planned judicial reforms. well, as he said, we see no mass protests across the country virtually after 9 p. m. local

time. a gunman starts to shoot at people in the center of television in the very, very busy street, even go streets. it's is street with cafes and restaurants and, and pops up. people are coming together. he was shooting at people sitting in to restaurant coffee there, according to the emergency service, meghan debbie, a don't at 3 people were wounded. one of them is in critical condition. they were all transferred, obviously to the hospital, but he said the attacker of us shot so according to unconfirmed media reports in the palestinian and in these very media, he was a palestinian a from a village in the occupied west bank. and the police had said they considered this a terrorist attack to have cleared the area as well. you know, whenever there were some people for protesting, you know, to do their police work? no, tanya, crime reporting there. well, as we've heard,

the shooting happened on the same day that widespread protest took place in israel . the demonstrations were aimed at efforts by the new right when government to reform the judiciary. the proposed laws would reduce the powers of the supreme court and allow more political influence in the appointment of judges. crowds opposing the plans block roads leading to israel's main international airport. thousands of protest is rallying once again in tel aviv for what was dubbed and nationwide dave resistance marching through the streets and blocking highways to the airport in a bit to hinder prime minister benjamin netanyahu planned trip abroad. horn honking demonstrate is we're clear on why they with it. there's a bunch of guys that has decided to hidden up this country for their own reasons. and this is, if you are very few people sitting very up high in the government,

a abducting in the in kid not being the whole country. motorcycle police were also on hand photographing the cause of those taken part. but some protest is said, even the offices were only side with when you close the cover of it will say guys who didn't don't. so we're, we're good for our. so elsewhere though, the police were less friendly with demonstrate has as they tried to force them from, rose, found the protests were mostly peaceful. israel's interior minister, in fact, light of fire, the head of telegraph police, after complaining they hadn't been tough enough, almost disrupting traffic, saying like they are happening all over the country here in television. this is one of the main, bombs and main of right. mom now made labels, i am not going to stop until their voices are heard. know their demands are still

on answered net. yeah, he was forced to take a helicopter to reach the airport. and before getting off, he had a warning for the protest is what it will only been, we won't let any one disrupt israel's democracy and canceled the decision of the majority in israel as express in the recent elections, we worked on workers but after 9 straight weeks neither the government nor its opponents seem willing to bunch on what both a framing has a question of democracy. in georgia, the ruling party has dropped a controversial foreign agent bill following 2 nights of violent clashes between police and protesters. despite the u, turn thousands continue to rally in the capital tbilisi. they fear the government wants to put georgia on a path towards authoritarianism. and away from its go of joining the european union

that the government is just paying lip service. so odd is number one midway. cameron, today is definitely the 1st victory that this protest is brought, but this fight is not ended yet. because we do not trust the promises of the ruling party, which they are only giving to us to stop the protests. therefore, the protests will carry on until officially with their own hands. they press the button in the georgian parliament that abolishes the bill. i mean, the controversial legislation would have required and jose and independent media who received more than 20 percent of their funding from abroad to declare themselves foreign agents. protestors clashed with police for more than 2 consecutive days. official say 50 officers were injured and more than a $130.00 demonstrators were detained during that time. those attending the latest rally also demanded their swift release. demonstrations that the law is reminiscent

of existing legislation in russia that has been used to crack down on descent and that it could damage the country's relationship with the european union. opponents of the georgia government school to victory today. but they say the fight is not yet over. before we go, here's a reminder of the top story. we're following for you. at least 7 people are dead and several others wounded. after a gunman fired shots at a jehovah, witness religious meeting in the german city of hamburg, police deployed special security forces to the area, the shooting occurred in a district of the city called allister dwarf. police. the shooter may be among the dead. and don't forget, you can always get dw news on the go, just download our app from google play or from the apple app store. that'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push
