An Israeli mother was killed in a terrorist attack in Tel Aviv while protecting her 9-month-old baby

A new Israeli mother was among the dead when two terrorists rampaged near Tel Aviv, Israeli officials said Wednesday. She was shot while heroically saving her baby's life.

“One of the victims of yesterday's terrorist attack in Tel Aviv, Inbar Segev-Vigder, was murdered while protecting her nine-month-old son Ari,” the State of Israel report wrote on Wednesday.

“She saved his life. There are no words. Just 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 fired a volley of ballistic missiles into Israeli territory in retaliation for the killing of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and several other senior officials in the terror group last week.

Surveillance video showed the attackers jumping out of the train armed with a gun and a knife.

The bodies of several blood-soaked victims could be seen scattered 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 has been identified as 30-year-old Shahar Goldman — a professional dancer who just got married last year, according to the outlet.

Nine others were injured in the terrorist attack.
