PM: After 2nd attack by IS supporters, security forces must adapt to new threat

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.
