US Ambassador to Israel Thomas Nides revealed Monday evening that the 27-year-old man who was killed in a terrorist shooting attack on Route 90 between the Dead Sea and Jericho earlier today was an American citizen.
A preliminary investigation in the field revealed that the terrorists opened fire on an Israeli vehicle on Route 90. An Israeli citizen was critically wounded and later died of his wounds at Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital in Jerusalem.
According to the investigation, the terrorists continued driving to the Beit HaArava intersection and shot at another Israeli vehicle. There were no casualties as a result of the second shooting. The terrorists continued driving and shot at vehicles a third time, without causing casualties.
A police force located the terrorists as they burned their vehicle and fired at them. The terrorists returned fire and fled. The IDF has set up checkpoints and security forces continue to search for the terrorists.

A US citizen or a dual Israeli and US citizen? Was this person a resident or just visiting?
Grew up In Connecticut, and seems to have moved to Israel and joined the IDF around 2014, then came back to the US in 2018 to go to Columbia U., graduating in 2022. Had apparently moved back to Israel.
The terrorists are without a doubt living free in the PA-controlled territory.
According to Google there are 250,000 to 300,000 Israeli's with American dual-citizenship.
The way American immigration laws and the interpretation of them works, the children of an American living in Israel are also Americans at birth! So, over time this number will continue to grow, regardless of the level of USA to Israel immigration.
In 2021 4,000 US citizens immigrated to Israel, not quite pre-Covid numbers, but more than in 2020.
Percentage wise about 3% of Israelis are American citizens currently.
What is interesting to me is that many of them vote in our elections. And they effect State elections and city elections too. (As they all have some sort of voter registration in some American city or town.)
I asked a woman I know who moved there 40 years ago which State she voted (for Biden) in. Apparently, once registered you can somehow change you address to Israel, live there for 40 years, and still vote in whatever State you left from.
I’m assuming he was a dual citizen. The article doesn’t clarify.
I became a citizen of Israel in 2010, and abstained from voting in the US election of 2012, thinking there is no way they would elect Obama twice. Nobody’s that stupid, right? Hold and below, they were. So I’ve made it my business to vote in every US election since then that I was able, though I found it impossible to vote in the Georgia mid-terms and the special Senate elections of 2020, because the process had suddenly become unmanageable for absentee ballot requests.
Don’t forget trying to sniff her hair.
So did the terrorists talking on “da intanet” make them kill him? Time to sue somebody. Not the terrorists though. Get the gun manufacturers unless they are Russkis then sue the gun store and the ammunition manufactures.
He is the eldest brother of my son's good friend. Super smart family. Another brother is an MIT engineer. My son and his friends are devastated. Horrible.
My son once played frisbee with him. Heartbreaking.
So he’s more Israeli, even served in their military, not in the US military. Should have renounced his US citizenship as his loyalties were with Israel. He should not be listed as dead American. He’s a dead Israeli.
The US Congress agreed with you, but the true legislature, the US Supreme Court, discarded history and legitimately enacted law with the Afroyim v. Rusk decision in 1967.

“A US citizen or a dual Israeli and US citizen? Was this person a resident or just visiting?”
Who cares, he’s dead.
Jews in Israel vote Republican.
I bet a lot of them do. Several Jewish families I know are split between incredibly strong MAGA supporters (who are more religious) and full on Obama/Biden supporting Democrats (who are the sort of modern agnostic Jews that much of the American upper-echelon is filled with.)
So, it's easy for me to believe that many Israeli's who have American citizenship vote Republican. But also easy to believe that many of them took their proclivity for voting Democrat with them to Israel and still vote for Team Donkey.
I wonder if there is polling on this in Israel?
