One of the Palestinian terrorists who killed seven people in a shooting attack in Jaffa on Tuesday night was shot dead, while his accomplice was severely wounded, Israeli police said on Wednesday.

The terrorists, residents of Hebron in Judea, reportedly crossed Israel’s pre-1967 lines in the Jerusalem area. They were neutralized at the scene by police officers, municipal security guards and armed civilians.

Police identified the terrorists as 19-year-old Mohammad Mask, who was killed at the scene, and 25-year-old Ahmad Himoni, who was severely injured.

In an overnight Israeli raid in Hebron, the IDF arrested several suspects for allegedly assisting the terrorists in acquiring weapons and bringing them across Israel’s pre-1967 lines.

“The charging by the FBI of Haverford College associate professor Guangtian Ha for harassment and intimidation of a Jewish Israeli professor closes the dotted line between verbal acts of harassment and actionable violence which, when Jews are the recipients, is far too often ignored,” Lori Lowenthal Marcus, of the Deborah Project, told JNS.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog marked the third anniversary of the Hamas attack by lighting a memorial candle at 6:29 a.m., the time the terror invasion began.
Three years after the Oct. 7 Hamas massacre, the families of Capt. Elay Adany and those he helped rescue remain bound by his final acts of courage.
Of the 6,000 Gazans who invaded the country on Oct. 7, 2023, 4,000 have been eliminated, said Israel Katz.
