From the Telegraph
Three British tourists were among seven people wounded in a car-ramming attack in Tel Aviv on Friday that also killed an Italian man. (I)n central Tel Aviv, one man was killed and seven people were wounded when a car rammed into people walking on a cycling path along the seafront, and flipped over, Israeli rescue services and police said.
The Ichilov hospital in Tel Aviv said it had received three injured Britons and one wounded Italian.
“All the victims were tourists,” the Magen David Adom emergency service said.
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni identified the deceased as 36-year-old Alessandro Parini.
A police spokesman said that “the terrorist was neutralised, it was a terror attack against civilians, a car ramming attack”.
Despite appeals for restraint, violence has surged since Israeli police clashed with Palestinians Wednesday inside Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque, with Israel bombarding both Gaza and Lebanon following rocket fire by Palestinian militants.
The latest flare-up in tensions comes during what is both the Jewish Passover and the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Ramadan – month of jihad. Actually every month is a good time for jihad but Ramadan ramps up the enthusiasm. Maybe it is because those on jihad are excused the daylight fasting?
On Friday, two British-Israeli sisters aged 16 and 20 were killed, and their mother seriously wounded in a shooting attack in the occupied West Bank.
Oded Revivi, mayor of the illegal settlement of Efrat, confirmed that the dead in the West Bank shooting were two sisters aged 16 and 20, and that the wounded woman was their mother.
A British diplomat later confirmed that the two also held UK passports, while calling for “all parties… to de-escalate tensions”.
Note to self – where did I put that donation form from Magen David Adom – looks like they are busy.

I understand that this report came from the Telegraph. But we should challenge their use of loaded terms. The “Occupied West Bank” is Judea and Samaria, all conquered in the self-defensive 1967 war. And is the 12,000-strong community of Efrat, a short distance from Jerusalem, really an “illegal settlement”? Also, the presumed international legality of Tel Aviv hasn’t convince terrorists to stay away from there.
