More innocent lives have been taken as terrorists continue to attack Israel in the most brutal ways possible.
33-year-old mother, Inbar Segev-Vigder, died while trying to protect her nine-month-old baby, Ari, from two Palestinian terrorists who killed seven people near Tel Aviv, Israel. The baby was in a carrier strapped to his mother's chest during the attack. In a miracle, he was not injured at all.
According to Israeli officials, Segev-Vigder died after she was gunned down after Palestinian terrorists opened fire and murdered six other people awaiting a train on the platform in the central Israeli city of Jaffa. The baby, as well as 16 others who were injured, was taken to a nearby hospital by an innocent bystander who witnessed the gruesome scene. Surveillance footage shows the terrorists jumping off the train armed with M16 rifles and knives.
"There are no words. Only heartbreak," Israel posted on X. "May the memory of the victims be a blessing."

Following the attack, Israel Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich said he "will now demand in the cabinet discussion that the family members of the abominable terrorists from Hebron who carried out the heinous attack in Jaffa be deported to Gaza tonight and their homes should be turned into ruins for them to see and see."
The Times of Israel reported that Segev-Vigder was a personal trainer and pilates instructor. Revital Bronstein, 24, Nadia Sokolenko, 40, and Ilia Nozadze, 42, were some of the victims whose names were released. Greece's foreign ministry confirmed that a Greek national who lived in Jerusalem was also killed in the attack.
The two Palestinian terrorists, who were reportedly from the Israeli-occupied West Bank town of Hebron, were shot and killed by security guards and armed pedestrians.
The attack came just moments before Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles into Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah. As sirens rang out, Israeli citizens were told to seek shelter in protected areas. Most missiles were intercepted, but "several hits were identified, and the damage is being assessed." The U.S. shot several interceptors to assist Israel against the attack from Iran.
