A Pakistani American man, reportedly with a history of mental illness, allegedly sought to run over yeshivah students and a rabbi with his car and was said to have yelled “I’m gonna kill all the Jews” on Wednesday.

Asghar Ali, 58, was arrested and “faces more than a dozen charges including attempted murder, attempted assault and hate crimes charges,” the New York Post reported.

The suspect allegedly tried to drive his 2011 white Crown Victoria into the Jews near Mesivta Nachlas Yakov, per the Post.

Yeshiva World News published extensive photos and video footage of the harrowing incidents. Boro Park Shomrim aided police in the investigation and helped find the suspect, it added.

The teen, who said he did it because he was angry over the Israel-Gaza conflict, placed a sign that read, “Anne Frank’s diary was a fake.”
“Such discriminatory actions isolate community members, harm small businesses and do nothing to promote peace,” the Anti-Defamation League stated.
The Israeli prime minister added that the Jewish state is set to eliminate the “great stronghold” of Bint Jbeil, “the place where Hassan Nasrallah said 26 years ago, ‘The Israelis are cobwebs.’”
The department is “targeting regime elites like the Shamkhani family that attempt to profit at the expense of the Iranian people,” said Scott Bessent, U.S. treasury secretary.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said at a press briefing that Iran’s decision to bomb its Arab neighbors may prove to be one of its “fatal mistakes,” as Gulf countries squeeze Iranian funds.
“The suspension of SJP is a vital step that recognizes a long-standing pattern rather than a single isolated incident,” a Duke student told JNS.
