💭 Six Brit and Italian tourists injured and one killed in Tel Aviv suspected attack
A 30-year-old man from Italy was killed and four other people are receiving medical treatment for mild to moderate injuries after a car rammed into a group of people and flipped over in Tel Aviv, Israel
Police said a car rammed into a group of people near a popular seaside park before flipping over.
Police said they shot the driver of the car. The driver’s condition is unknown at the moment.
Israel’s Foreign Ministry referred to the incident as a “terror attack”, a term Israeli officials use for assaults by Palestinians.

These rockets were fired at the Galilee region in northern Israel. The Galilee is where many of the miracles of Jesus occurred, according to the New Testament, on the shores of the Sea of Galilee.
🔥 Rockets were fired from Lebanon into Israel on Thursday and answered by a burst of cross-border artillery fire, officials said, amid escalating tension following Israeli police raids on the Al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.
The Israeli military said it had intercepted at least one rocket as sirens sounded in northern towns near the border, while two Lebanese security sources said there had been at least two attacks, with multiple rockets.
Israeli news outlets reported that around 34 rockets were launched from Lebanon, half of which were intercepted, while five landed in Israeli areas. Israel’s ambulance service said one man had sustained minor shrapnel injuries.
In a written statement, the United Nations peacekeeping force in south Lebanon (UNIFIL) described the situation as “extremely serious” and urged restraint. It said UNIFIL chief Aroldo Lazaro was in contact with authorities on both sides.
Israeli broadcasters showed large plumes of smoke rising above the northern town of Shlomi and public sector broadcaster Kan said the Israel Airports Authority closed northern air space, including over Haifa, to civilian flights.
“I’m shaking, I’m in shock,” Liat Berkovitch Kravitz told Israel’s Channel 12 news, speaking from a fortified room in her house in Shlomi. “I heard a boom, it was as if it exploded inside the room.”
