A man approximately 50 years old was seriously wounded with penetrating injuries in a shooting in the town of Bart'a in the Wadi Ara area, according to Channel 12. An MDA team treated him at the scene and evacuated him conscious to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera. Police are investigating the circumstances.
A 50-year-old man was seriously wounded in a shooting in Bart'a, a town in the Wadi Ara area of northern Israel, shortly before 01:00 Monday. Magen David Adom paramedics treated the victim at the scene for penetrating wounds and evacuated him conscious to Hillel Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera. Police have opened an investigation; no suspect or motive has been reported.
The incident follows a similar shooting on the road near Harish and Bart'a late Sunday evening — reported by The Zioneer roughly 90 minutes earlier — in which a 51-year-old man was seriously wounded leaving a wedding. Both events occurred in the same immediate area, though authorities have not indicated whether they are connected. The broader Wadi Ara corridor has experienced multiple violent incidents in recent weeks, including shootings and stabbings in Ar'ara and nearby towns.
As of this writing, the circumstances remain under investigation, and no further details on the victim or a possible assailant have been released.
