Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar on Thursday highly condemned a stabbing attack on a Jewish jeweller in the Tunisian island of Djerba, advising Tunisian authorities to take instant actions to protect the regional Jewish neighborhood.
” I highly condemn the attack that targeted a member of the Jewish neighborhood in Djerba, Tunisia, today,” Sa’ar composed on his authorities X account. “I want the hurt a quick healing.”
The occurrence took place Wednesday in the Ajim location of Djerba, home to among the earliest Jewish neighborhoods in the Arab world. Tunisian media reported that the opponent assaulted the victim with a sharp item, significantly hurting his hand. The factor for the attack stays under examination.
Sa’ar kept in mind that the attack came simply 2 years after a fatal shooting throughout Lag B’Omer events at the island’s historical El Ghriba synagogue, which eliminated 5 individuals, consisting of 2 Jewish worshippers and 3 security workers.
Unproven video footage of the attack has actually flowed online, triggering restored issues about anti-Jewish violence on the island. Though no main declaration has actually yet been launched by Tunisian authorities, regional sources informed media outlets that the suspect is a homeowner of Ajim without any previous rap sheet.
The 2 people associated with the disagreement were apparently collared by the National Security District head office in Djerba. The victim is reported to be in steady condition and recuperating from his injuries.
