Two Israeli soldiers survived battles with Hamas and Hezbollah in their homeland after Oct. 7 — only to be severely injured in the ISIS-inspired rampage in New Orleans while on vacation.
The unidentified “best friends” in their mid-20s — who were traveling around the US to “clear their heads” after serving in the Israel Defense Forces reserves for more than a year — were “severely” injured after being rammed in the New Year’s Day terror attack, Israel’s consul to the Southwest United States told The Post.
“That’s the tragic irony,” Consul Elad Shoshan said from the New Orleans hospital where the two men are being treated.
