Five dead in botched Israeli bank heist after robber takes woman hostage before shooting himself

Five people died in a bungled bank robbery before the gunman took his own life in southern Israel this afternoon.

One of the robbers was reportedly barricaded inside the bank with one female hostage, before shooting himself.

'Four people have been killed and the robber apparently shot himself dead. The scene is now clear,' regional police commander Yoram Levy told Israel Radio after his forces raided the bank.
