New police chief Daniel Levy raises some eyebrows by implying at the scene of today’s stabbing attack in Hadera that the police are currently unable to adequately prevent terror attacks.
“I want to stress that the Israel Police, these days, as you understand, is stretched to the limit,” he says. “My heart is with the injured, but it seems like this is what we’ll have to face in this period and we need to be strong.”
The attack, in four different locations, was committed by an Israeli citizen from the nearby Arab city of Umm al-Fahm, and left six people injured, including two in critical condition and three in serious condition.
