Third Terrorist Attack in Israel in Three Days: Ugly New Front in War Against the Jewish State

March 29, 2022

The SWC denounces the third deadly attack against the citizens of Israel in the heartland of the country in the last three days.

The first two attacks by an Israeli Bedouin and two other Israeli Arab citizens mark an ugly new front in the war against the Jewish State. 

It’s not yet clear what nationality the shooter was who murdered five people tonight.

“First, Israel should take all measures, both domestically and anywhere else in the world, where this deadly trail leads to hold accountable the entire food chain of terrorism that has led to these murderous attacks,” said Rabbis Marvin Hier, SWC CEO and Founder and Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean and Global Social Action Director.

“Secondly, on the eve of Ramadan, later this week, we call on all faith leaders in Israel and across the Muslim world to denounce these terror attacks, and instead, embrace the historic breakthrough of peace between Arab nations and the Jewish State,” the Rabbis concluded.
