Ibrahim Shalhoub, from the West Bank city of Tulkarem, was sentenced to life in prison on Sunday for killing 83-year-old Holocaust survivor Ludmila Lipovsky in a terror attack in Herzliya in December 2024.

Shalhoub, a former informant for the Shin Bet domestic security service, was indicted on terror charges in January 2025, a month after he stabbed Lipovsky multiple times outside of her assisted living complex.

The indictment said that Shalhoub “drew his knife and stabbed [Lipovsky] in the upper body approximately 11 times,” while calling out “Allah is great” and praying in Arabic.

Shalhoub continued to stab Lipovsky until he was shot and wounded by a security guard from the Israel Post office who had been nearby.
