Florida man arrested after shooting two Israelis, thinking they were Palestinians

A Jewish man in Miami Beach is facing serious charges for opening fire on a vehicle after he saw “two Palestinians” inside – both of whom actually appear to be Israeli Jews.

Mordechai Brafman, 27, was arrested and charged with two counts of attempted murder after he shot 17 rounds at the car with a semiautomatic handgun on Saturday night. According to American media reports, Brafman said once taken into custody that while he was driving his truck, “he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both”.

Brafman was seen on surveillance video driving south on Pine Tree Drive and then making a U-turn at 48th Street before driving by the victim’s vehicle, which was in the left lane, and stopping directly in front of them in the right lane.
