16-year-old boy shot, moderately wounded in northern city of Tamra; police open investigation

A 16-year-old boy was wounded in a shooting in the northern city of Tamra this evening, says a Magen David Adom spokesperson.

Hassan Aburumi, a senior paramedic with the emergency service, recounts heading to a grocery store close to his home and hearing gunfire from a nearby street, upon which he called additional responders.

“I found a 16-year-old boy lying on the ground, conscious and suffering from penetrating wounds to his body. I administered preliminary medical treatment at the scene,” says Aburumi.

Paramedics evacuated the boy, moderately injured, to Haifa’s Rambam Hospital where he remains in stable condition.

Police have opened an investigation into the incident.
