The Jewish civilian wounded in Monday's Montreal shooting has died of his injuries, according to the ZAKA international division chief. ZAKA teams remain at the scene coordinating with the local Jewish community and monitoring other wounded evacuees.
The ZAKA international division chief reported Monday evening that a Jewish civilian has died of wounds sustained earlier in the day during a shooting incident in Montreal. The victim was among several wounded in the attack near a Jewish community hub in the city's Côte-des-Neiges district. The attack, which left two others dead and the gunman neutralized by police, had prompted an initial account from ZAKA stating no Jewish casualties were identified. That assessment has now changed. ZAKA teams remain at the scene, coordinating with the local Jewish community and monitoring the condition of additional wounded evacuees.
Earlier reports, as covered by The Zioneer, included conflicting accounts: a community source identified Michael Mizrahi as mistakenly killed by police fire. The precise circumstances of the victim's death reported now by ZAKA — whether from police fire or the attacker's — remain unclear. Police continue their operational activity at the scene. The motive of the attack remains under investigation.
