Florida man shoots two “Israelis” thinking they were Palestinians

Two Jewish “Israelis” visiting the United States were shot and injured in Miami Beach on Saturday after a man shot them for believing they were “two Palestinians” – according to arrest documents obtained by CBS News.

The shooter was identified as Mordechai Brafman, 27 years old, and is charged with two counts of attempted murder.

Brafman shot the victims’ vehicle 17 times, unprovoked, with some bullets directly striking the two.

One was shot in the left shoulder while the other’s left forearm was grazed by a bullet – the CBS News report added.

While the shooter was in custody, he said “he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both”.

The victims were transported to the hospital afterwards and received treatment.

In a now deleted post on Facebook, one of the victims said him and his father “went through an attempted murder on an anti-semitic background.”

“They tried to murder us in the heart of Miami, but God is with us, so it didn’t work out for him.

“Thank you for the support…Death to Arabs,” the post concluded.
