Two young men have been moderately injured in a violent incident tonight in Rahat, says the Magen David Adom emergency service.
The two wounded men, ages 21 and 24, were taken to Soroka Medical Center by paramedics.
The incident is the latest in a wave of violence that has rocked the southern Bedouin city in recent days, seemingly related to two blood feuds that were rekindled over the weekend.
On Saturday night, 21-year-old pharmacology student Adam al-Ubra was shot to death while visiting his parents in Rahat, in a revenge killing that left one other man seriously injured. Police arrested three suspects in the deadly shooting.
Earlier the same day a doctor was shot and badly wounded in his car by several assailants. Police say the attack was related to another conflict between rival families in the city. Five were arrested on suspicion of involvement.
Help us report truthfully on social media
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.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
