Seven people were murdered, and dozens were wounded in a shooting attack at a light rail station in Jaffa on Tuesday evening. Hamas took responsibility for the attack on their Telegram channel the next day.
Who was Ionas?
Ionas held both Greek and Israeli citizenship and spoke both languages fluently. He grew up in Israel and served in the army.
