N12 reports that police have solved the November 2025 murder of Basil Farouni, a 21-year-old Nazareth resident who was shot and killed at a car wash in the city after being mistakenly identified as a target by a hit squad. The indictment, to be filed this morning, charges three suspects alleged to have acted for the Hariri crime organization as part of an ongoing conflict with the Bakri organization. The case adds to a wave of Arab-sector crime-related killings in Israel; as The Zioneer has previously reported, the Abraham Initiatives documented 142 Arab citizens killed in crime-related violence in the first half of 2026, an 11% increase year-on-year. The three suspects are expected to face murder charges in the coming days.
