A Reuters news agency video showed a police officer pulling out a gun and taking cover as gunshots resounded. One person was seen covered in blood.
According to Al Jazeera, three people were involved in the gunfire but have been “eliminated” by Turkish police.
The area where the consulate building is located, meanwhile, is densely populated and houses many businesses, including international ones, with “thousands” of people working nearby.
The Israeli consulate is on the seventh floor of a tall building in the area.
There were no details yet on the identity or motives of the attackers.
