US Court Holds Iran, Syria Liable for $191 Million in Hamas Killing of American

In a landmark ruling, a US district court found Iran and Syria responsible for supporting Hamas in the fatal stabbing of American Ari Fuld in 2018.

A US district court in DC determined Iran and Syria must pay $191 million to the family of Ari Fuld, an American killed by a Hamas terrorist.
The court found satisfactory evidence that Iran and Syria supported Hamas, which claimed responsibility for Fuld's death.
Ari Fuld was attacked while shopping in the West Bank in 2018 and managed to chase and shoot his assailant despite being fatally stabbed.
The ruling highlights the targeting of Americans and English speakers by Hamas, supported by Iran and Syria, as a violation of international law.
The decision could pave the way for compensation through the US Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund, although actual payment from Iran and Syria is uncertain.
