On Tuesday, a horrific shooting and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv left seven people dead, including a 30-year-old fitness instructor, Inbar Segev-Vigder, and injured sixteen others. The attack occurred as Inbar was traveling home with her 9-month-old baby boy on a light rail in Tel Aviv's Jaffa neighborhood.
Her husband, Yeari Vigder, described the harrowing moments as he searched for his wife and son amidst the chaos of the attack. Despite the danger of Iranian missiles raining down on the city, Yeari tirelessly went from house to house, desperately calling out for Inbar and their baby.
Tragically, Inbar was shot at close range during the attack, leaving Yeari frantically searching for his family. While their dog was found injured at the scene, Inbar and their son were initially missing. Fortunately, their baby boy, Ari, was located unharmed in a nearby children's hospital, providing a glimmer of hope in the midst of tragedy.
Yeari expressed deep love for his wife, emphasizing her importance to their family. The community mourns the loss of Inbar and the other victims of this senseless violence.
The gunmen responsible for the attack were identified as Muhammad Mask, who was killed at the scene, and Ahmed Himoni, who was severely injured. Both were residents of Hebron in the occupied West Bank. Hamas later claimed responsibility for the attack, which occurred just before Iran launched a significant missile strike on Israel.
The incident has left the city of Tel Aviv and the nation of Israel reeling, as families like the Vigders grapple with the aftermath of this tragic event.
