'Shots fired' at Turkey's embassy in Israel

Source: BBC News Shots have been fired in Tel Aviv, Israel, at the Turkish embassy, Israeli police say. There are unconfirmed reports that a hostage situation is developing inside the embassy compound. Other reports on Israeli media say a man who entered the embassy, whether by force or not is unclear, has been shot. Israel Radio has said that Israeli police and medical workers were not being allowed to enter the compound. An Israeli official who has been in touch with the Turkish Embassy in Tel Aviv has told the BBC that an Arab man entered the embassy and was believed to have taken hostages.
What's going on here then?
