Magen David Adom paramedics pronounced dead one of three men who were shot at a kiosk on Sderot HaHagana in Haifa late Wednesday night. Two other victims remain hospitalized in serious condition. Israeli media report police assess the motive as criminal.
The Haifa shooting death toll has risen to two after Magen David Adom paramedics pronounced the death of one of three men who were shot at a kiosk on Sderot HaHagana late Wednesday night. The new fatality was declared at 00:16 Jerusalem on Thursday, minutes after The Zioneer’s initial dispatch at 00:16 reported that one victim had already died at the scene and two others had been evacuated in serious condition. One additional critically wounded victim remains hospitalized; no arrests have been reported.
The Zioneer first reported the incident at Thu 00:16 Jerusalem, when MDA paramedics found three unconscious men with gunshot wounds. One was declared dead at the scene, and two were evacuated in serious condition. Israeli media immediately quoted police assessing the motive as criminal. By the same timestamp, a Channel 12 report cited an MDA paramedic who described treating the victims: one was pulseless and not breathing, and resuscitation efforts failed. A separate report by N12’s Or Ravid confirmed police were treating the event as criminal, not a terrorist attack.
As The Zioneer reported at Thu 00:16 Jerusalem, Israeli media have consistently cited police sources assessing the motive as criminal, though the specific circumstances remain under investigation. The incident follows a separate fatal single-vehicle crash in Haifa overnight on Saturday, as The Zioneer reported.
The identities of the victims have not been released. The remaining critically wounded victim’s condition remains serious, and no arrest has been reported. Police have not publicly named a suspect or disclosed a specific motive.
