The Tel Aviv gay centre shooting resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to at least fifteen others at the Tel Aviv branch of the Israeli LGBT Association, at the "Bar-Noar" (Hebrew: בר נוער, "Youth Bar"), on Nahmani Street, on August 1, 2009. A 26-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were killed.[2][3] Three deaths were mentioned in earlier reports of the incident but one has since been discounted.[4][5]

Most of the injured were minors;[3] six were in serious condition. The city was subject to a "clampdown" after the attack, and several hundred police launched a manhunt to locate the killer(s).[6][7][8][9] In June 2013, Hagai Felician was charged over the murder, but the police retracted its allegations in March 2014, after revealing its key witness fabricated evidence.[10]

The shooting sparked widespread condemnation, with one lawmaker calling it the worst attack against the gay community in Israel's history. The location of the attack— at the heart of what is seen as Israel's most liberal city[neutrality is disputed]—resulted in protests by the gay community.[11][12]

As of 2023, the police have yet to apprehend the shooter.
