Florida Man Faces Hate Crime Charges After Shooting Israeli Tourists Mistaken for Palestinians

In Miami Beach, Florida, 27-year-old Mordechai Brafman is facing upgraded charges, including hate crime enhancements, after allegedly shooting at two Israeli tourists he mistakenly believed were Palestinians. The incident occurred on the evening of February 15, 2025, near Pine Tree Drive and 48th Street.

According to police reports, Brafman fired 17 rounds at a vehicle occupied by Ari and Yaron Rabi, an Israeli father and son visiting Miami. Ari sustained a gunshot wound to his left shoulder, while Yaron was grazed on his left forearm. Both were treated at a local hospital and have since been released.
