US Ambassador to Israel Jack Lew condemns the Palestinian terror attack that took place earlier today at Re’em Junction in southern Israel in which two were killed and four were injured.
“I am appalled by today’s terror attack that resulted in the deaths of two individuals and critical injuries of others. I offer my sincere condolences to the families affected by this tragedy. Such senseless terrorism is absolutely abhorrent,” Lew tweets.
