Araba in the Batuf: Young Man Dies from Gunfire and His Brother is Suspected

SadaNews - Young man Bakr Yasin, in his thirties, was killed in a gunfire incident in the city of Araba in the Batuf region, last night, Saturday.

According to the information provided, the suspicion revolves around a person who shot his brother.

A medical team from "Magen David Adom" provided first aid to the injured, who was then transported to "Poria" Hospital for continued treatment while unconscious and connected to a respirator.

In the Negev, a young man (23 years old) sustained serious injuries after being stabbed in the city of Be'er Sheva.

The injured person was taken to "Soroka" Hospital in Be'er Sheva for further treatment after receiving initial care.

This comes as incidents of violence and murder continue to escalate in the Arab community, as a murder has been recorded since the beginning of the new year 2026, claiming the life of young Adi Saqr Abu Ammar from Qalansuwa. Additionally, young Abdul Rahman Imad Al-Abra from Ramla passed away at the beginning of the year after succumbing to injuries from a stabbing incident about two weeks prior.

The year 2025 recorded an unprecedented toll in murders, with 252 citizens falling victim amid Israeli police's complicity with organized crime and their failure to provide safety and security for Arab citizens.
