Police arrive at the scene after a shooting attack on Dizengoff Street in Tel Aviv, Israel, April 7, 2022. Thursday’s attack is one of many recent terrorist attacks in Israel. There were three deadly terrorist attacks in late March. On March 30, five people were shot dead in Bnei Brack, east of Tel Aviv, by a man riding a motorcycle, who was later killed by police. One of the victims was a police officer, according to Magen David Adom. Two days earlier, on March 28, two police officers were shot dead and four others were injured in an attack. Then, a week ago, four people were killed in a knife attack in the southern Israeli city of Beersheba. The suspect was shot dead. Islamic State claimed responsibility for most of the attacks. People pass by the scene of a shooting attack on a cafe on Disengoff Street in the center of Tel Aviv, Israel, April 7, 2022. “I am horrified to see another cowardly terrorist attack on innocent civilians, this time in Tel Aviv,” US Ambassador to Israel Tom Naides wrote on Twitter. “We pray for peace and send our condolences to the victims and their families. This must stop!” ABC News’ Jason Volack, Christine Theodorou and Bruno Nota contributed to this report.
