2 Jews among 4 Dead in Tunisia Synagogue Attack
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - Aviel Haddad, an Israeli who was living in Tunisia, and his French cousin Ben Haddad, were among four killed in an attack on a synagogue on the Tunisian island of Djerba on Tuesday, during celebrations of the Lag B'Omer festival at the ancient site. At least 10 others were injured. They were shot by a naval guard who first killed a colleague before opening fire targeting security personnel protecting the synagogue. Hundreds of Jewish and Israeli worshipers were attending the festivities. Security forces killed the shooter. Al-Qaeda militants attacked the Djerba synagogue in 2002 with a truck bomb, killing 21 Western tourists.
