Diplomat says New Orleans terror attack injured Israeli reservists on leave from Hamas war: 'Global threat'

Two Israelis, who are among the more than 30 surviving victims injured in the New Orleans terror attack, are reservists who were granted leave from the Hamas war and decided to come to the United States as tourists, an Israeli diplomat told Fox News Digital. 

Elad Shoshan, consul of Israel for the Southwest United States, is based in Houston but traveled to New Orleans in the aftermath of the truck-ramming attack that also killed 14 victims celebrating New Year's Day on the famed Bourbon Street.
