On March 27, 2022, two Arab gunmen attacked a bus stop in Hadera, Israel, killing two people and injuring twelve.[1]

The militants attacked in the evening at a bus stop close to a group of restaurants. Equipped with assault rifles, the terrorists deliberately fired at civilians and police officers, killing two 19-year old Border Police officers.[2] According to the Magen David Adom,[3] ten more people were wounded, including three police officers. Two of the injured suffered serious injuries. The attack ended after the duo were shot dead by police.[4]

The attack came as Israel held the Negev Summit, a conference between Israeli authorities and representatives of Egypt, Bahrain, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates (the latter three had signed the Abraham Accords) were meeting in Sde Boker[5] and as Antony Blinken was making a visit to Israel.[4]

The two terrorists, Ayman and Ibrahim Ighbariah, posted a video of them embracing in front of an Islamic State flag prior to the attack. Ibrahim previously was jailed in 2016 for attempting to join Islamic State forces in Syria.[6]

Aftermath

Both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad praised the attack, but they did not take responsibility.[7][8]

The Foreign Ministers of the four Arab countries attending the Negev Summit condemned the attack.[9]

The gunmen were identified by police as Arab Israeli from Umm al-Fahm.[10]

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant claimed responsibility for the attack later that day via Amaq News Agency, making it the first time ISIL had claimed responsibility for an attack in Israel since 2017.[11][12] Omer Bar-Lev said that police would be "deploy[ed] in all areas," describing it as a major security threat.[12]
