A 55-year-old man was stabbed in his home in Bat Yam on Friday afternoon, according to initial reports from Israeli media. The suspected assailant is his son, who reportedly has a history of psychiatric issues. MDA medics provided treatment at the scene and evacuated the victim to a hospital; his condition has not been disclosed. Police are investigating. The incident follows several other family-violence stabbings reported in recent weeks, including a son stabbing his elderly father to death in Rehovot in June and an indictment filed against a man who stabbed his father over a NIS 100 argument in Migdal HaEmek, as The Zioneer previously reported. However, this latest event appears to be a separate occurrence in Bat Yam, with no direct connection to those earlier cases.
