US Secretary of State Antony Blinken released a statement Thursday night condemning the terror attack in Elad.
“We vehemently condemn the terrorist attack in Elad, Israel, which killed at least three and wounded many others,” Blinken said in a statement.
“This was a horrific attack targeting innocent men and women, and was particularly heinous coming as Israel celebrated its Independence Day,” he said. “Our hearts are with the victims and loved ones of those killed, and we wish those injured a speedy recovery.”

“May the memory of those who passed be a blessing,” Blinken added.
