A tragic shooting in the West Bank has left a pregnant Israeli woman dead. Tzeela Gez was on her way to the hospital with her husband to give birth when their car came under fire near the Brukhin settlement. She was rushed to the hospital, where doctors delivered her baby by caesarean section. Sadly, Tzeela was pronounced dead. Her newborn is in serious but stable condition. Her husband, Hananel, was lightly injured in the attack. On 15th May, mourners gathered in Jerusalem to lay her to rest. In response to the shooting, Israel’s military carried out operations in the West Bank, killing five Palestinians. Meanwhile, some far-right leaders, including a government minister, called for harsh retaliation, urging that nearby Palestinian towns be destroyed. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he hopes security forces will quickly find those responsible. President Isaac Herzog offered his condolences to Tzeela’s family.
