Police arrest suspect in Rahat shooting that wounded 2
Police this evening arrested a suspect they believe was involved in a shooting that wounded two people in the southern Bedouin city of Rahat earlier today.
Magen David Adom paramedics took both victims, one of whom is moderately wounded and the other lightly injured, to Soroka Hospital in Beersheba at around noon.
A law enforcement spokesperson says the incident was criminal rather than terror-related. The arrest marks a relatively quick turnaround for police, who often struggle to locate suspects in murder cases within Arab communities.
