President Isaac Herzog condemns the early morning Iranian missile attack on the northern Arab Israeli city of Tamra, where four female members of one family were killed, and says he plans to visit the city very soon.
“Since this morning, I have been in constant contact with the Mayor of Tamra, Mr. Moussa Abu Roumi, following the painful incident that occurred last night as a result of the Iranian missile strike,” writes Herzog in an Arabic-language post on X.
منذ صباح اليوم، أنا على تواصل دائم مع رئيس بلدية طمرة، السيّد موسى أبو رومي، في أعقاب الحادثة الأليمة التي وقعت الليلة الماضية، إثر سقوط الصاروخ الإيراني.
في هذا الهجوم الغاشم، قُتل وجُرح إخوتنا وأخواتنا – يهودًا وعربًا، أطفالًا وكبارًا – دون تمييز. إيران لا تفرّق بين دم ودم،…

“I also intend to visit the city of Tamra in the near future, to stand alongside the families of the victims and the wounded, and to support them in these difficult times,” he continues.
“In this brutal attack, our brothers and sisters — Jews and Arabs, children and adults — were killed and wounded without distinction. Iran does not differentiate between one blood and another; it targets the innocent and causes them harm,” he writes.
