The State Department on Sunday condemned a vehicle attack in Jerusalem that killed four people and injured several more.

"There is absolutely no justification for these brutal and senseless attacks. We‎ condemn the glorification of terrorism now or at any time and call on all to send a clear message that terrorism must never be tolerated," spokesman Mark C. Toner said in a statement.

"Our thoughts and prayers are with the families of the four Israeli soldiers who were killed, and we hope for a full and fast recovery of those injured."

A driver plowed a truck into a group of soldiers in Jerusalem.

Three cadets were killed along with one officer, Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said, according to CNN. All of the victims were in their 20s.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said "all signs show" the suspect in the attack is "a supporter of the Islamic State."

Israeli Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld told CNN a "group had gotten off the bus and were getting organized with their bags when the terrorist took the opportunity, ramming his truck into the group."

"Then he in fact reversed and tried to ram them again," Rosenfeld said, "until shots were fired, and the terrorist was shot and killed at the scene."
