Un muerto y cinco heridos por un ataque múltiple en Israel: Hamas lo reivindicó como una «operación heroica»
Un ataque múltiple ocurrido este domingo por la mañana en el centro de Israel dejó como saldo al menos un muerto y 5 personas heridas, dos de ellas de gravedad. El atacante hizo una serie de disparos en varios puntos del país y finalmente fue abatido. Desde el grupo islamista Hamás celebraron el atentado, al que definieron como «operación heroica».
Según se indicó Magen David Adom (MDA), la organización nacional de servicios médicos de emergencia y de transfusión sanguínea de Israel, el primer llamado de auxilio llegó a las 10.34, hora local, desde una gasolinera de la ciudad de Cojav Yair -colindante con la frontera entre Israel y Cisjordania-, en donde dos hombres, uno de 50 años y otro de 30, habían resultado heridos luego de que una persona abriese fuego.
Tras ese primer ataque, el agresor abandonó el lugar en auto y se dirigió a Tzur Yitzhak -a unos dos kilómetros-, en donde volvió a abrir fuego e hirió a un hombre de 30 años en una mano y a una mujer de 61, que estaba dentro de un coche, en la parte superior del cuerpo.
Luego de abandonar el lugar, el hombre perpetró un tercer ataque en la carretera 5333 cerca de la localidad de Selait. Según indicaron los servicios de emergencia, al llegar al lugar se encontraron con un hombre de 35 años ya muerto por disparos dentro de su coche, y con otra persona que se encontraba grave, con una herida en la parte superior de su cuerpo.
«Durante el trayecto, civiles me hicieron señas para que me detuviera y me llamaron para que prestara atención médica a una persona inconsciente dentro de un vehículo. No tenía pulso ni respiraba, presentaba heridas de bala en el cuerpo y, tras la evaluación médica, nos vimos obligados a declararlo muerto», relató el paramédico Lior Zilberberg, uno de los que asistieron al lugar.
En tanto, desde el servicio sanitario israelí Clalit informaron haber recibido a los cinco heridos y reportaron que al menos dos de ellos se encontraban graves y que uno tuvo que ser trasladado al quirófano.
La Policía indicó que sus agentes lograron localizar al vehículo implicado en el ataque y que el agresor fue abatido. Según se informó, se trataría de un hombre residente en la localidad cercana de Tayibe, de mayoría árabe, aunque no se ofreció más información sobre su identidad.
Aunque en un principio se sospechaba que el ataque lo podrían haber llevado a cabo dos personas, el Ejército y la Policía confirmaron que finalmente se trató de «solo un terrorista», según indicó la agencia EFE.
Por su parte, el primer ministro israelí, Benjamín Netanyahu, informó en un comunicado que está evaluando la situación y siguiendo de cerca el «mortal ataque a tiros».
En un comunicado difundido tras los incidentes, el el grupo islamista Hamás celebró los ataques, a los que definió como una «operación heroica».
«El Movimiento de Resistencia Islámica (Hamás) elogia la heroica operación en el asentamiento de Cojav Yair, al norte de Qalqilia», expresó al respecto la organización, que denunció además una escalada de políticas israelíes «en la construcción de asentamientos, la confiscación de tierras, los asesinatos, las detenciones, el desplazamiento forzoso y el terrorismo de los colonos (en Cisjordania)», las que, afirmó, avivan «los campos de batalla».
En tanto, el presidente de Israel, Isaac Herzog, dijo estar «conmocionado por el horrendo ataque terrorista en la región de Sharon, en el que un ciudadano israelí fue asesinado y otros resultaron heridos».
This is a painful and difficult day in Israel.
I am shocked by the horrific terror attack in the Sharon region, in which an Israeli citizen was murdered and others were injured. My heart goes out to the family of the victim, and I am praying for the full and speedy recovery of…
— יצחק הרצוג Isaac Herzog (@Isaac_Herzog) June 7, 2026
«Una vez más sentimos el alto costo del terror asesino contra nuestro pueblo y los esfuerzos incesantes por atacar a ciudadanos israelíes, dondequiera que se encuentren. Israel continuará actuando con fuerza contra la amenaza del terror violento en todas sus formas, y contra todos aquellos que buscan hacernos daño. No permitiremos que nuestros enemigos socaven nuestra seguridad, nuestra libertad y nuestro derecho a vivir en seguridad», afirmó.
Por su parte, el ex primer ministro israelí, Neftalí Bennet definió el ataque como una «masacre de disparos en el corazón de Israel». «El corazón está con la familia de la víctima en esta hora difícil. Envío mis condolencias a la familia y la abrazo en su dolor. Recuperación rápida y completa para todos los heridos», escribió en su cuenta de X tras conocerse la noticia.

Jeffries welcomes Democratic Socialists into the fold as critics warn party is revealing ‘exactly who it is’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries publicly embraced a new crop of congressional nominees Saturday, including three Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates whose primary victories have fueled fresh debate over the Democratic Party’s leftward shift ahead of the 2026 midterms.
The powerful New York lawmaker’s post highlights the challenge facing the top House Democrat as he works to unite his party ahead of the general election. If Democrats take back the House in November, Jeffries is expected to become the next speaker. That means he’ll likely be leading a Democratic caucus with more self-described Democratic Socialists than ever before. So far, more than a dozen Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidates have won or advanced in primaries across the country this election cycle.
In a post on X, Jeffries wrote, «Congratulations to our Democratic nominees,» before listing the party’s congressional candidates from across New York. Among those recognized were Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier, all of whom are affiliated with or backed by the Democratic Socialists of America and secured victories in closely watched Democratic primaries last week.

«From public servants to union organizers to community activists, the path is different but the work is the same,» Jeffries wrote. «We must decisively address the affordability crisis and crush far-right extremism!»
RISING SOCIALIST STARS ON TRACK TO CONGRESS: WHO ARE DARIALIZA AVILA CHEVALIER, BRAD LANDER AND CLAIRE VALDEZ?
Lander, Chevalier and Valdez all received backing from New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whose endorsements helped cement the growing influence of the Democratic Party’s progressive wing in New York politics. Lander and Chevalier defeated Jeffries-endorsed incumbents Reps. Dan Goldman and Adriano Espaillat in their respective Democratic primaries. Jeffries did not endorse in the race won by Claire Valdez, which was an open seat.
Now, as Democrats turn their attention to the general election, he appears to be rallying behind the party’s nominees as they try to win back the House in November.
The candidates have also faced scrutiny over resurfaced social media posts, support for defunding the police and anti-Israel rhetoric, positions that have put them at odds with many in the Democratic Party.

Chevalier has faced scrutiny over resurfaced social media posts, including one in which she called to «literally abolish the border.»
She has also faced renewed scrutiny over past social media posts targeting leading Democrats, including calling former President Joe Biden a «war criminal,» attacking former Vice President Kamala Harris and rebuking Sen. Bernie Sanders over Israel.
Like Chevalier, Valdez and Lander, who is Jewish, share her sentiment that Israel is committing «genocide» in Gaza.

Jeffries’ decision to publicly congratulate the three nominees quickly drew criticism.
The Republican Jewish Coalition blasted Jeffries’ congratulatory message, warning Jewish voters that these candidates are not the Democrat «fringe» but the new faces of the party.
«To Jewish Democrats: your party is telling you EXACTLY who it is,» the Coalition wrote. «These future members of Congress, who @hakeemjeffries is welcoming with open arms, want to: Abolish prisons and borders. Defund the police. Downplay 9/11,» rattling off other serious controversies stemming from the candidates.

«When I first read this post, I assumed it was from a spoof account. I am deeply concerned that it appears to be all too real,» Metzl wrote. «To welcome these nominees without acknowledging and criticizing their self-declared sympathies for U.S.-designated terrorist organizations, their calls to abolish the police, their stated desire to dismantle Western civilization, and their blatant anti-Americanism is to sacrifice the core principles of the Democratic Party.»
Metzl accused Jeffries of putting his bid to become House speaker ahead of the Democratic Party’s principles.
«I understand your ambition to become Speaker should Democrats retake the House, but you should not sacrifice the principles of our party to advance your own political aspirations,» Metzl wrote.
Democratic leadership has been in the hot seat this week facing questions from the media about how to reconcile support for the New York slate of socialist candidates, particularly after Valdez’s supporters were seen shouting «you’re next» at a television screen showing Jeffries on Tuesday night.
«They’re gonna eat you next Congressman – and replace you with one of their own,» conservative commentator Meghan McCain posted on X.
«This is funny,» conservative commentator Robby Starbuck posted on X. «Hakeem still doesn’t realize that the communists are going to eat him alive. Clearly not a student of history. Bless his heart.»

In a CNN appearance on Friday, Jeffries said, «I think that what happens in a handful of primaries in one of the bluest cities in the country is not in any way indicative of what needs to happen in November, where we need to reelect every single frontline Member, common sense Democrats, authentically committed to making life better for the American people, opposing these extreme Republicans who have been nothing but a reckless rubber stamp for Donald Trump’s agenda.»
«And at the same period of time, make sure that we flip red seats blue, including in New York-17, where we have a combat veteran, incredibly patriotic American Cait Conley, who came out of a primary on Tuesday as well and is an incredibly strong candidate. She will defeat Mike Lawler in New York in November.»

Gulf countries strongly condemn Iran’s drone attack on Bahrain as rising tensions threaten MOU
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Several Gulf countries have strongly denounced Iran’s Saturday drone strikes on the island nation of Bahrain, while vowing to stand united against any possible aggression from Tehran in the future.
This escalation poses the greatest threat yet to the memorandum of understanding signed last week by President Donald Trump and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
After Iran struck a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz on Friday, the U.S. launched overnight airstrikes on Iranian missile, drone and radar sites. Iran responded Saturday with the drone strikes on Bahrain, which hosts the U.S. Navy’s Fifth Fleet.

The Secretary-General of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Jasem Mohamed Albudaiwi, called Iran’s attack on Bahrain «treacherous,» adding that it will undermine ongoing peace efforts in the Middle East.
The GCC represents the interests of Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, several of which released their own statements condemning Iran.
Bahrain itself issued a response, confirming that Iran flew a number of drones into its territory and calling the strikes a «flagrant threat» to the nation’s security. It remains unclear exactly which areas Iran targeted.

«While the Ministry condemns this heinous aggression, it affirms that the Iranian regime’s continued attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts are moving towards de-escalation, place the sole responsibility on Tehran for undermining peace efforts, and reveals an approach based on destabilizing security, exporting chaos, and undermining regional stability,» Bahrain’s Foreign Ministry also said Saturday.
Officials in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) also came out with statements on Saturday condemning Iran.
Kuwait’s Foreign Ministry said the Iranian strikes represent «a dangerous undermining of endeavors for peace and stability, and a threat to the security and stability of the region.»
Both Kuwait and the UAE said they remain committed to supporting Bahrain’s safety and stability.

Also joining in the public denouncements of Iran were Saudi Arabia and Qatar, with both countries saying the latest strikes violate Bahrain’s sovereignty and international law.
Notably, Oman’s foreign ministry has not addressed the attack. Oman has maintained a neutral stance throughout the war and has frequently acted as a mediator between Washington and Tehran.
Oman and Iran are also still in the midst of negotiating a joint framework for the future administration of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard took responsibility for the strikes on Bahrain, saying on state-run TV that it had targeted several locations «of the U.S. terrorist army in the region» without specifying which areas were hit, according to The Associated Press.
So far, no casualties or significant damage has been reported from the drone attack, which occurred days after Secretary of State Marco Rubio met with Gulf allies in Bahrain.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
