Israeli mom killed in Tel Aviv terrorist shooting while shielding her 9-month-old baby

A new Israeli mom was among those killed when two terrorists went on a rampage near Tel Aviv, Israeli officials said Wednesday — saying she was gunned down while heroically saving her baby’s life.

“One of the victims from yesterday’s terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, Inbar Segev-Vigder, murdered while shielding her 9-month-old son Ari,” the State of Israel account wrote Wednesday.

“She saved his life. There are no words. Only heartbreak.”

Segev-Vigder and six others were murdered when the two terrorists opened fire and stabbed victims at a train station in the central Israeli city of Jaffa late Tuesday.

The terror attack came just minutes before Iran launched a barrage of ballistic missiles into Israeli territory in retaliation for last week’s killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several other top officials of the terror group.

Surveillance video captured the attackers jumping off the train armed with a gun and knife.

The bodies of several blood-soaked victims could be seen strewn on the ground nearby.

Segev Vigder, who was a personal trainer and pilates instructor, is survived by her husband and son, the Times of Israel reported.

Meanwhile, another slain victim was identified as 30-year-old Shahar Goldman — a professional dancer who got married just last year, according to the outlet.

Nine others were injured in the terror rampage.
