Two Wounded in California Synagogue Shooting Are Israelis from Sderot
(Times of Israel) Michael Bachner - In the Chabad synagogue shooting in California, Israeli girl Noya Dahan, 8, was hit by shrapnel in the face and leg, while her uncle Almog Peretz, 31, was shot in the leg. The family had moved to San Diego from Sderot in Israel amid incessant rocket attacks from Gaza, some of which had damaged their home. Peretz told Israel's Channel 12: "A person with a big rifle, like an M16, entered the synagogue and started shooting everywhere.... There were many small kids next to me. I took a little girl who was our neighbor and three nieces of mine and ran. I opened the back door and we ran with all the children to a building in the back. I hid them in that building. As I picked up the girl, the terrorist aimed his weapon at me. I was injured in the leg."
