Man murders son with axe in Israel, goes shopping after
A shocking and horrific incident occurred in the Herzliya region of Israel recently, adding to the ongoing tensions in the area due to attacks on Gaza. A mother, whose identity remains undisclosed for security reasons, brutally murdered her 6-year-old son with an axe in the Galil Yam neighborhood. Additionally, reports suggest that the woman also killed the pets in the house.
According to Israeli press reports, the woman’s husband is a reserve soldier actively involved in the conflict in Gaza. The motive behind this heinous crime remains unclear, but it has sent shockwaves through the community and raised concerns about the mental health and well-being of individuals in situations of conflict and stress.
In the aftermath of the attack, footage captured at the scene showed the woman covered in blood and wielding an axe as she walked around a shopping mall before sitting down in a meditative state. Initial claims suggested that the woman may have been targeted by Hamas, but Israeli authorities have denied these allegations.
The Mayor of Herzliya released a statement addressing the incident, stating that the police and psychologists have reached out to the woman to provide assistance and support in this difficult time.
Eyewitnesses, like Israeli resident Raz, who saw the woman after the attack, expressed shock and disbelief at the gruesome act. Raz shared, “I truly felt like I was in a nightmare. When the police arrived at our street, I was scared. I learned that the woman had brutally killed her neighbor’s child and dog. It was a horrifying incident right in our neighborhood.”
This tragic event serves as a stark reminder of the impact of conflict and violence on individuals and families, highlighting the need for greater support and resources to address mental health challenges in communities facing such challenging circumstances.
