Police say they have arrested a Sudanese national suspected of fatally stabbing a man in his 40s during a brawl today in Netanya’s outdoor market, in what appears to be the fourth violent killing in Israel in hours.
The victim, also a Sudanese national, is pronounced dead at the city’s Laniado Hospital.
Officers plan to request an extension of the suspect’s detention, a law enforcement spokesman says.
Earlier this morning, a 53-year-old woman was found dead in her home in Bat Yam; police say they have arrested her husband as a suspect.
Before dawn, a 14-year-old boy was shot and killed in the southern town of Ararat an-Naqab. Israel Police described the shooting as the result of a “vendetta” among feuding clans in the desert town.
Last night, 38-year-old Issa Frej was shot dead in his home in Kafr Qasim. Paramedics found the victim unconscious at around 10 p.m. after receiving a report of a shooting and declared him dead at the scene of the crime.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
