ZAKA's international division said Tuesday night that Michael Mizrahi, who was seriously wounded in Monday's Montreal shooting, has died of his injuries at the hospital. The family has been notified; Mizrahi's son, who lives in Montreal, was initially unable to reach the hospital but was later informed by police of his father's death.
ZAKA's international division confirmed early Tuesday morning that Michael Mizrahi, critically wounded in Monday's supermarket shooting in Montreal, has died of his injuries. The development is a tragic update to a story The Zioneer has followed since Monday evening — initial reports on Monday indicated a civilian was killed by crossfire during the incident and that a Jewish man was among the wounded. ZAKA had earlier reported Mizrahi dead when a volunteer at the scene mistakenly confirmed his death, before retracting that report and saying he was in surgery in serious condition. Tuesday's confirmation from ZAKA, after the family was notified, resolves the conflicting reports of the past hours. ZAKA's Baruch Nidam said volunteers are assisting Mizrahi's family; two of his daughters live in Israel (in the north and Sharon regions), and his son resides in Montreal. Police reportedly informed the son that his father was killed at the scene earlier that day.
