Two Israeli Border Police Officers Killed in Firefight with Arab Terrorists in Central Israel


(Ha'aretz-Ynet News) Josh Breiner - Two Israeli Arab gunmen from Umm al-Fahm opened fire at people at a bus stop in the central Israeli city of Hadera on Sunday. Two Israeli Border Police officers ran toward the site after hearing the gunshots and were killed in the exchange of fire, as were the assailants. "Our officers managed to neutralize the assailants and prevent a bigger terrorist attack," Israel Police spokesman Eli Levy told Channel 11. The Israeli officers were Yazan Falah, 19, and Shirel Abukarat, 19. Four others were wounded, two seriously. Some are members of the security forces. Police found three guns, three knives and about a thousand bullets while searching the assailants. The two terrorists are Ibrahim Agbaria and Ayman Agbaria. Ibrahim was indicted in 2016 for attempting to join ISIS in Syria.
