An apparent terrorist attack in Israel on Friday has left one dead and multiple injured after the driver of a car drove through a group of people.

Authorities shot the driver during the incident, which occurred near a Tel Aviv park, Fox News reported. The car flipped during the incident, which authorities have declared to be terrorist in nature.

Haaretz identified the attacker as an Israeli Arab from Kafr Qassem. Apart from that individual's death, five tourists sustained injuries. Three are in "moderate condition" while two more sustained more mild injuries.

The attack comes amid a significant period of religious observance in the Jewish faith as the Passover began on Wednesday.
