Two Israelis were among the more than 30 surviving victims injured in the recent terror attack in New Orleans. These two individuals, both in their mid-to-late twenties, were reservists who had been granted leave from their military duties in Israel to travel to the United States as tourists. The families of the injured Israelis have requested that their names remain private.
Elad Shoshan, the Consul of Israel for the Southwest United States, traveled from his base in Houston, Texas to New Orleans following the tragic truck-ramming attack that claimed the lives of 14 individuals who were celebrating New Year's Day on Bourbon Street.
