The militant Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for a shooting in central Israel that police say killed two people and wounded four.
Israeli Zaka Rescue and Recovery team carry the body of a victim at the scene of shooting attack In Hadera, Israel, Sunday, March 27, 2022. A pair of gunmen killed two people and wounded four others in a shooting spree in central Israel before they were killed by police, according to police and medical officials. The identity of the gunmen was not immediately known, but police called them"terrorists," the term usually used for Arab assailants.
“This was murder for the sake of murder and terror for the sake of terror,” Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid said, flanked by the minsters from the U.S., Baharain, Morocco, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.“Our presence here today is, I think, the best response to such attacks,” said Moroccan Foreign Minister Nasser Bourita.
“The heart breaks” over the attacks, Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, said Monday. The Israeli premier issued the statement from home, after testing positive for the coronavirus. He urged people to be vigilant. Police were expected to set up checkpoints on major roads Tuesday. The Israeli rescue service MADA confirmed the deaths of one man and one woman, and said four people were wounded, two seriously. It released videos showing large numbers of police cars and ambulances in the area.
