    Rabbi Eli Schlinger, who was killed in an armed attack in Sydney on
    Sunday, had previously visited Israel and met with Israeli soldiers, encouraging them to continue the war of genocide against the Gaza
    Strip, an Israeli television channel and an Israeli activist have
    revealed.

    Schlinger was among 12 people killed and at least 29 others wounded
    during an armed attack that took place during Hanukkah celebrations at
    Bondi Beach in Sydney, according to Australian authorities. The
    Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (Kan) confirmed that Schlinger was an
    emissary of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement in Australia.

    Israeli activist and journalist Hanoch Daom wrote on Instagram that
    Schlinger travelled to Israel following 7 October 2023, where he met
    with Israeli soldiers to offer what Daom described as osupport and encouragemento during the ongoing military campaign in Gaza.

    IsraelAs Channel 12 later broadcast an image showing Schlinger sitting
    among Israeli soldiers atop a military vehicle. The broadcaster did
    not clarify where or when the photograph was taken, nor whether it was
    inside the Gaza Strip.

    SchlingerAs social media accounts show that he used the image of
    himself with Israeli soldiers as his profile picture on both Facebook
    and Instagram, openly expressing support for the Israeli army.

    The Chabad-Lubavitch movement has long rejected Palestinian national
    rights and opposes any political settlement that would grant
    Palestinians sovereignty over occupied territory.

    IsraelAs genocide in Gaza has, for more than two years, resulted in
    the killing of over 70,000 Palestinians and the wounding of more than
    171,000 others, most of them women and children, according to
    Palestinian health authorities and international organisations. The
    campaign has triggered widespread international condemnation and
    deepened IsraelAs global isolation.
