Israeli security sources tell Hebrew media outlets that the terrorists who carried out the shooting attack in Hadera are Arab Israelis from the Wadi Ara area.

Security camera footage from the scene showed the two gunmen opening fire at passersby and police officers at a bus stop in the city, soon after a bus had pulled away, close to several restaurants.

Both of the attackers were shot dead by members of a unit of undercover officers who happened to be eating at a nearby restaurant, police officials say.
