Police have arrested three suspects in a knife fight that broke out Friday at a Tiberias hotel.
The filmed brawl, which took place on the lawn near the hotel’s swimming pool, led to the stabbing of two individuals involved. They were taken to the hospital in light and moderate condition, police say.
Footage from the scene over the weekend shows around a dozen men and women gathered around a man who appears to have pinned somebody else down near a palm tree. Amid shouting, a young man throws a table at someone else, before a security guard arrives and attempts to break up the fight.
The three men arrested this morning are from Nesher, a city south of Haifa. According to Channel 12 news, those involved in the fight were not guests at the hotel.
Officers brought the trio before a judge in the Tiberias Magistrate’s Court, who has ordered them kept in custody until tomorrow, as police continue to investigate the incident.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone.
