Detroit synagogue head found dead with stab wounds. That is why Israel protects its tanks based on the Ukrainian model

In the US state of Michigan, the leader of a synagogue was found dead not far from her home. Samantha Woll, president of the Isaac Agree Downtown Synagogue, was found dead by rescuers in Detroit on Saturday (local time) “with multiple stab wounds to her body,” police said. A trail of blood led officers to the 40-year-old’s nearby home, “where the crime likely occurred,” the report said. According to police, the motive for the crime was still unclear. Police asked the FBI for help in the investigation.

The incident occurred amid rising tensions between Jewish and Muslim communities in the United States following Hamas’ major attack on Israel on October 7 and subsequent Israeli retaliatory attacks in the Gaza Strip.

Police Chief James White called for patience and warned against jumping to conclusions before “all available evidence has been assessed.”

Active as a Democrat

Woll was active in the Democratic Party and worked for U.S. Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin, the Detroit Free Press newspaper reported. She also actively supported an organization that brought young Muslims and Jews together.

A statement on the synagogue’s Facebook page said: “We are shocked and saddened by the unexpected passing of our board chair Samantha Woll.”

Not the first incident

Just last week, an incident took place in the United States that is also believed to be related to the war between Hamas and Israel. A Chicago man is accused of killing a six-year-old boy because of his Muslim faith. The 71-year-old stabbed the boy 26 times with the knife and seriously injured the mother, local police said on Sunday. According to the police, the crime was also a response to the war between the Islamist Palestinian organization Hamas and Israel. (lak/sda/afp)
