According to the Miami Herald, the arrest form for Brafman stated that he “spontaneously stated that while he was driving his truck, he saw two Palestinians and shot and killed both,” the newspaper reported.
Meanwhile, the police did not say whether the two victims, who were hospitalised with their injuries, were Palestinian but confirmed that they were visiting from Israel.
Several violent attacks on Palestinians have been reported in the United States since Israel’s war on Gaza began.
Just last September, a 42-year-old woman, Elizabeth Wolf, allegedly attempted to drown a three-year-old Palestinian-American girl in Texas.
The Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip is a major part of the Gaza war.
It began on 7 October 2023, after Hamas, a Palestinian terrorist group, led an attack on Israel.
Israel then began bombing the Gaza Strip, and on 27 October, a full-scale invasion was launched.
