KTVZ

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli authorities say a pair of gunmen have killed two people and wounded four others in a shooting spree in central Israel, before they were killed by police. The identity of the gunmen was not immediately known, but Israeli security officials said Sunday that the two men were supporters of the Islamic State extremist group. It was the second deadly nationalist assault carried out by Arab assailants in an Israeli city in less than a week. Security camera footage circulating on Israeli media Sunday showed two bearded men walking with automatic weapons on a roadside in the city of Hadera. Both appear to open fire before they were shot.
