Three members of the same family were stabbed Monday night in the southern port city of Ashkelon during a brawl with visitors to their apartment.
Two of the victims were seriously injured and a third suffered moderate wounds.
All three of the injured were men, two of them in their thirties and the third 23, according to Hebrew media reports.
Police said substantial forces were deployed to search for the suspects, who fled the scene, on Ayala Street, after the stabbing.
An initial police investigation found that a fight had broken out between the three men and the suspects who had arrived at their home.

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.
