Pro-Israel extremist arrested after shooting 'two Palestinians'

Mordechai Brafman, 28, a staunch pro-Israel supporter, fired 17 rounds at a father and son in Miami Beach, wounding both. Believing he had killed them, he reportedly told police, “I killed two Palestinians.”

Brafman was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder for the unprovoked attack on Saturday night.

Surveillance footage showed that he then pulled up in the right lane, stepped out, and opened fire as the father and son passed.

One victim was shot in the left shoulder, while the other suffered a bullet graze on his forearm. Police confirmed that the victims had no prior connection to Brafman, and their accounts aligned with the surveillance footage.
