Islamic State in a statement posted on its Telegram account claimed responsibility for the attack in which people were killed by gunmen on a main street in Hadera, Israel, March 27, 2022, Trend reports citing Reuters.

Two Arab gunmen killed two police officers on a city street in Israel on Sunday and were then shot dead, as the U.S. secretary of state and three Arab foreign ministers visited the country for a summit.

The two assailants in Hadera, a city about 50 km (30 miles) north of Tel Aviv, were Arab citizens of Israel and sympathisers of the group, Israeli security officials said.

We condemn today's terrorist attack in Hadera, Israel," U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken wrote on Twitter. "Such senseless acts of violence and murder have no place in society. We stand with our Israeli partners and send our condolences to the families of the victims."
