China News Agency, Beijing, May 6. Jerusalem News: At least three people were killed and four injured, two of them seriously, in an assassination attack in the central Israeli city of Elad on the evening of the 5th local time.
According to local Israeli media "Jerusalem Post", there were two attackers in the attack.
The two attacked at different places in Elad with a knife and axe. Three people have been killed, all of whom were middle-aged men aged 40-50.
Four other people were injured, two seriously.
On the day of Israel's Independence Day, the park was crowded with tourists, and many families gathered outdoors to celebrate the 74th anniversary of Israel's founding.
According to the Associated Press, the two attackers fled in a car after the attack.
At present, Israeli police have set up roadblocks and sent helicopters to pursue them.
No organization or individual has yet claimed responsibility for the incident.
Israeli Prime Minister Bennett issued a statement that night, saying that Israel will capture the terrorists and they will pay for it.
"The attack in Elad is appalling," Reuters quoted Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Rapid as saying on Twitter. "We will not surrender to terror."
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the attack.
The Palestinian News Agency quoted Abbas as saying that "killing Palestinian and Israeli civilians will only worsen the current situation" and that "a permanent, comprehensive and just peace is the correct and fastest way to provide security and stability."
