Seven people were killed and 16 others wounded in the attack on the Tel Aviv light rail and a nearby road in Jaffa, in one of the deadliest terror attacks in recent memory. The five victims were named on Wednesday as Revital Bronstein, 24, from Bat Yam; Ilia Nozadze, 42, a Georgian citizen; Shahar Goldman, 30 from Lod; Inbar Segev Vigder, 33, and Nadia Sokolenco, 40. The identities of two further victims were not yet cleared for publication.

Both men are Palestinians from the West Bank city of Hebron who were in Israel proper without a permit. Diana Svertzov, an Israeli rhythmic gymnast who won a silver medal at the Paris Olympics, was at the light rail station at the time of the attack, and told Channel 12 that the terrorists did not seem suspicious, and one of them was wearing a pin representing solidarity with Israelis held hostage in Gaza by the Hamas terror group. “One of them looked at my Olympics necklace and smiled at me. They didn’t look like terrorists. One of them had an M16 rifle, and the other one was in a polo shirt, with a hostage pin. There was no reason to be suspicious. It never crossed my mind, what was about to happen,” she said. Reservists in Israel are often seen carrying rifles while wearing their civilian clothes. (Snip) It was also revealed on Wednesday that before carrying out the attack, the terrorists entered the Al-Nuzha Mosque, stashed their bags in the mosque’s bathroom, and threatened worshippers not to leave. One of the terrorists “opened the door, with an M16 in his hand,” Ali, a member of the congregation, told the Ynet news site. He noted that the terrorist had entered the mosque through the women’s entrance.

Anyone who goes out is a dead man,’ and he left. The second one waited outside. They closed the doors, we called the police, and we heard shooting,” Ali said. Another congregant, identified only by his first Hebrew initial Dalet, told Ynet that the men initially entered the mosque with large backpacks, which they left in the bathroom and from which they took their weapons. The relation between the two accounts was not immediately clear. (Snip) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
