JERUSALEM (AA) - The Daesh/ISIS terrorist group on Monday claimed responsibility for a shooting attack that left two Israeli police officers dead in the central city of Hadera a day earlier.
The claim came in a statement released by the group’s Amaq news agency.
Two gunmen opened fire on police and passers-by in Hadera Sunday evening, killing the two police officers and injuring three others.
The shooting attack came as Israel hosted a six-party summit in the southern city of Negev that brought together the foreign ministers of Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, Israel, and the United States.
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has vowed that his government will take all necessary measures to prevent similar attacks.
