JERUSALEM, Israel — A metro Atlanta woman was killed Monday morning in a stabbing attack in Jerusalem, news outlets reported.

According to the Atlanta Jewish Times, Elisheva Rose Ida Lubin, 20, grew up in Dunwoody. 

While the U.S. Department of State didn't confirm her name, they did share with 11Alive that a U.S. citizen died Nov. 6 in Jerusalem. A spokesperson added the State Department is providing consular assistance. 

Gov. Brian Kemp commented on the tragedy and shared the Atlanta Jewish Times' article on social media.

"Marty, the girls, and I are heartbroken by the tragic news of Rose Lubin's death," the governor said.

Kemp said he would keep her family in his thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Lubin was a member of the Israel Border Police, the Wall Street Journal shared in a live updates story about the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. She lived in Kibbutz Sa’ad in southern Israel. The WSJ also mentioned that the area was one of the places attacked on Oct. 7. 

It's been nearly a month since officials said Hamas attacked Israel in an "unprecedented" move. Thousands of lives have been lost.

May her memory be a blessing. So sad to share a young woman from Dunwoody who had moved to Israel was just killed in...
