"The NFL mourns the loss of innocent lives in Israel and strongly condemns all forms of terrorism," the league said. "The depravity of these acts is beyond comprehension, and we grieve with the families of those killed, inured and still missing. We pray for peace and will always stand against the evils of hate."
