01 · THE DISPATCH

Two men in their 30s were seriously wounded in a stabbing near Haifa's Student Beach on Saturday evening, with police citing a criminal motive. MDA medics treated the victims at the scene and evacuated them to Rambam Hospital in serious condition. Police have opened an investigation.

The incident adds to a series of violent events in Haifa this summer. On July 2, a shooting that left three men critically wounded was also assessed as criminal, as The Zioneer reported. Other incidents, including stabbings and a road accident, have occurred in the city and surrounding areas in recent weeks, according to The Zioneer's archives. The prevalence of such incidents underscores ongoing challenges with violent crime in the Haifa region.
