Israelis murdered in May

Two Israeli businessmen were murdered in separate incidents in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, in April. 

Though there was no clear antisemitic nature to the attacks, the Jewish community in LA remained cautious. 

Jennifer Feldman, 28, of Valley Village, told Los Angeles Magazine: "It's terrifying. These do seem like targeted attacks. Two men with ties to Israel killed on the same day feels frightening to say the least."

This is a developing story.
