Neria Leiter, the son of Israel's ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, was seriously wounded in a suspected car-ramming attack near the settlement of Beit Horon in the occupied West Bank; the assailant was shot dead. Leiter's other son was previously killed in Gaza in November 2023. Israeli security forces separately arrested a Palestinian Authority colonel accused of advancing terror activities and charged two Palestinians with allegedly planning to assassinate Israeli minister Itamar Ben Gvir. The attack drew significant attention given the ambassador's prominent role in Washington, with Leiter publicly asking for prayers for his son's recovery.
