The grainy footage shows panic-stricken scenes of people fleeing a popular central Tel Aviv restaurant, knocking over tables and chairs as they attempted to run from a pair of Palestinian gunmen who opened fire, killing four Wednesday night. In a series of videos leaked to the public in the aftermath of the attack, the Max Brenner restaurant in the Sarona market is seen transforming from the image of calm dining into a war zone, two men in suits and ties pulling out makeshift firearms and shooting into the crowd. Four people were killed in the attack and 16 more injured. The two gunmen, Palestinians in Israel illegally, were caught shortly after the attack, one of them after a short police chase also caught on video. A little after 9:00 p.m., the two men — cousins, according to police; brothers, according to Palestinian media reports — entered the eatery, a fashionable international restaurant chain in Tel Aviv’s upscale Sarona Market. Approximately 15 minutes later, the two men took out Carl Gustav-style submachine guns and indiscriminately opened fire at the restaurant’s patrons.
