The father of the 21-year-old claimed that Israeli guards targeted his son because the latter was “looking too Palestinian.”

Zachareah Quraishi, 21, who was released from the Canadian military reserves in July 2024, traveled to the Jewish state, where Israeli authorities say that he tried to commit a terror attack near the Gaza border.

Guards shot and killed the Alberta man after they said that he ignored warnings and charged at them with a knife at Netiv Ha’asara.
