01 · THE DISPATCH

The Nazareth District Prosecutor's Office filed an indictment Thursday against three suspects for the murder of Basil Farouni, 21, who was shot dead in November 2025 at a car wash in Nazareth after being mistaken for a target of the Hariri crime organization.

Police said the suspects acted on behalf of the Hariri organization as part of an ongoing conflict with the Bakri crime organization. The indictment includes charges of murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy to commit a crime.

As The Zioneer reported earlier Thursday, police announced the case had been solved shortly before the indictment was filed. The case was investigated by the Israel Police's Central Unit in the Northern District.
