It is not clear who carried out the attack. However, there has been a rise in Palestinian attacks on Israelis since last year, with a series of shootings, stabbings and car rammings, the BBC's Middle East correspondent Yolande Knell reports. One woman told Israel's Channel 10 TV that she had been celebrating her son's birthday when she heard shots and "immediately understood it was a terror attack".
The number of incidents has dropped in recent months, she notes. "We ran like lightning with the baby and the stroller," Meital Sassi said. "I yelled at people, who didn't understand what was happening, to run."
"Two terrorists arrived at the complex and while firing, and to our regret, nine people were injured to different degrees," Mr Edri said.
"Of the two terrorists, one was arrested and the other wounded by gunfire. The weapons they were carrying have been seized."
Ichilov hospital, where the injured were taken, said three critically wounded people had died.
