With three attacks in a week and eleven victims, Israel is under terrorist attack in the shadow of ISIS.

Beersheva on March 22 (4 dead), Hadera on March 27 (2 dead) and now Bnei Brak, an Orthodox suburb, and Ramat Gan, near Tel Aviv.

One of the perpetrators of the gunshot attack - which also counts another wounded - is a Palestinian identified in Dia Hamarsha, 27, originally from the village of Yabed, in Jenin in the north of the West Bank. According to some testimonies, he arrived at the site of the attack by motorbike. After the attack he was killed. With him was another bomber, arrested, while the police are looking for a possible third accomplice by sifting through the streets next to the site of the attack and the houses.

Immediately from Gaza came the jubilation of Hamas and Islamic Jihad: "The armed struggle continues, blessed be the hands of the heroes," said on Twitter Mushir al-Masri, a spokesman for Hamas.

Prime Minister Naftali Bennett - who is in isolation because he is positive for Covid - has raised the alert status and convened an extraordinary security meeting on the situation in the country tonight. "Israel - he said - is confronted with a murderous wave of Arab terrorism". "Our security forces are operating. We will fight terrorism with determination, stubbornness and an iron fist. Nobody - he added - will move us from here. We will win".

Defense Minister Benny Gantz was today in Amman to see King Abdallah with whom he addressed security and political issues, especially fears of a possible resurgence of violence for the upcoming month of Ramadan, especially in Jerusalem. And it is precisely for that period that Israel fears a new flare-up.
