Magen David Adom medics treated a 15-year-old boy seriously wounded in a violence incident in the northern village of Yafia on Tuesday evening, and evacuated him to the English Hospital in Nazareth with penetrating injuries, according to MDA.
The incident in Yafia is the latest in a series of violence events in Arab communities in northern Israel, as The Zioneer has reported. Previous incidents this summer include a 20-year-old seriously wounded in the Gilboa region in June, a 23-year-old in Tiberias in July, and a 30-year-old in Nazareth earlier this month. The circumstances of Tuesday's incident remain under investigation. MDA has not released further details on the victim's condition or the nature of the attack.
