Two suspected Arab gunmen killed two people in the Israeli city of Hadera on Sunday and were then shot dead by police, an Israeli ambulance service said.
The incident in Hadera, a city about 50 kilometers (30 miles) north of Tel Aviv, occurred during a visit to Israel by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and the convening of an Israeli-Arab summit in the south of the country.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility.
