News18 Afternoon Digest: Events of the day include four deaths in a shooting attack in East Jerusalem and Ukraine's president Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressing his support for Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Indian products. This piece covers other stories you may have missed, including details on how Mehul Choksi will be kept at Mumbai Jail if extradited and an update on the Indian woman who was caught shoplifting from a US Target store.

Four killed in shooting at East Jerusalem: A shooting at a synagogue in East Jerusalem's Neve Yaakov neighborhood has left four people dead and several others injured. The shooter, a Palestinian man from the town of Yatta near Hebron, was also killed by police. This attack comes a day after Palestinian gunmen killed two Israelis in the southern town of Beersheba. This has led to fears of a resurgence of violence.

Zelenskyy backs Trump's tariff on India: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has supported the previous US administration's decision to impose tariffs on Indian products. Trump had imposed tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from India, among other countries, back in 2018. This announcement by Zelenskyy has come ahead of the first face-to-face meeting between President Joe Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin, which is set to take place in Switzerland this week.

Mehul Choksi conditions for extradition: Crime boss Mehul Choksi, who was detained in the Caribbean nation of Antigua and Barbuda after fleeing India in 2018, may be extradited to India. There is a possibility that Choksi will be kept in the Mumbai Jail as legal experts feel that he could be tried in Mumbai due to the large-scale money laundering and fraud charges against him.

Indian woman caught shoplifting: Meanwhile, an Indian woman has been arrested in the US after she allegedly stuffed two cartons with $95,000 worth of goods from a Target store and tried to leave without paying. The woman, identified as Manisha Kumari, was arrested by the police at Edison Airport as she was preparing to board a flight to India.

These stories reflect the pervasive impact of political decisions on everyday lives, from the tensions between Jerusalem and Palestine to the repercussions faced by individuals who engage in fraudulent activities.
