An Israeli man and his cousin were among the four reported dead in an attack on a synagogue on the Tunisian island of Djerba, on Tuesday, during celebrations of a Jewish festival at the ancient site there. At least 10 others were injured.
The Israeli who resided in Tunis and his cousin from France were among the hundreds of Jewish and Israeli worshipers who attended the festivities at the 2,500-year-old synagogue.
After remaining under siege inside for hours, the worshipers were removed under heavy security and returned to their homes and hotels.
