A Tree’s Unyielding Roots: Unraveling Jaffa’s Legacy as a Beacon of Italian-Israeli Fortitude

The seventh victim of the attack in Jaffa, Israel, on October 1st is an Italian-Israeli citizen, Victor Green, aged 33. Farnesina sources confirmed this to «Agenzia Nova». The terrorist attack, in which seven people were killed and 16 others injured, was claimed by the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas. The Islamist, Sunni and fundamentalist Palestinian political organization attributed the incident to two members of its group, Mohammad Mesek and Ahmed Himouni. The other six victims are: Revital Bronstein (24 years old), Ilia Nozadze (42), Shahar Goldman (30), Inbar Segev Vigder (33), Nadia Sokolenco (40), and Jonas Chrosis (26).

The two militiamen, one armed with a rifle and the other with a knife, attacked civilians on the Tel Aviv tram before getting off and continuing to attack people on Jerusalem Street. A local security officer and armed civilians later shot the two attackers, police said. Of the two militiamen, Mesek, 19, was killed at the scene, while Himouni, 25, was seriously injured. Both are Palestinians from the city of Hebron, in the West Bank.
