The tragic event unfolded in Raida, Yemen, when Mousa Yaish al-Nahari, a respected member of the local Jewish community and a father of eight, was confronted and fatally shot by Abdul-Aziz Yahya al-Abdi, a former Air Force pilot. The assailant reportedly accused al-Nahari of witchcraft before the attack, which witnesses described as unprovoked and rooted in religious intolerance. This attack highlighted the dangers faced by the Jewish community in Yemen, amidst a climate of increasing hostility and sectarian violence, challenging the safety and coexistence of religious minorities in the region.
