Prime Minister Naftali Bennett issues a statement in the wake of yesterday’s terror attack in Hadera in which two people were killed.
“A second attack by Islamic State supporters in Israel requires the security forces to adapt quickly to a new threat, and they have,” he says, referring to the deadly terror attack in the southern city of Beersheba a few days ago, which was also committed by a man who attempted to join the jihadist group.
“I urge citizens to continue to be vigilant. Together, we will also be able to defeat this enemy,” Bennett says.
“The heart is broken by the deaths of Border Police officers Yazan Falah and Shirel Abukarat, who fell while protecting civilians with their bodies from vile murderers. We will not forget their heroism. I wish a complete recovery to the wounded and send my deepest condolences to the families,” Bennett says.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
