One person was killed and a total of six people were wounded in various shooting incidents in Israel over the weekend.
According to Israeli media, all of the incidents had criminal, rather than nationalistic or terroristic, motivations.
In one of the incidents, two people were wounded on Saturday evening in a shooting in the Clock Tower area of Jaffa.
Magen David Adom (MDA) announced that its paramedics subsequently arrived at the scene to provide treatment to the two victims. One of the victims was a 25-year-old man who was in serious condition. The other victim was lightly wounded. Both were evacuated to Wolfson Medical Center in Tel Aviv.
The attacker reportedly fled the scene.
Sole death over the weekend was in Nazareth
The incident in Jaffa comes hours after 20-year-old Bassel Ashraf Faraoni was shot and killed in Nazareth, Israeli media reported. Another victim in the area, also about 20, was wounded in the incident and evacuated to a nearby hospital. MDA paramedics determined Faraoni's death immediately upon their arrival at the scene.
Only minutes after the incident in Nazareth, another three people were wounded in a shooting in Ramle. According to MDA, the victims' conditions varied from light to moderate after the incident. The three were evacuated to Shamir Medical Center in Be'er Ya'akov.
Police have opened an investigation into both incidents.
Faraoni's death raises the number of Arabs killed in 2025 from criminal incidents to 231, according to the Abraham Initiatives, which tracks violent incidents in Israel's Arab sector.
According to the group, 21 of the victims killed were women, 115 were 30 years old or younger, seven were below the age of 18, and 12 of the victims were shot by police officers.
Exactly one year ago, the number of Arab deaths was 215, which the Abraham Initiatives noted is "an increase of more than 7% compared to last year."
