Police arrested a 29-year-old resident of Yafia this morning (Sunday) on suspicion of involvement in the double murder of Khaled and Majd Mahajna, a father and son from Yafia. The two were shot dead on December 20, 2025, in the Al-Krom neighborhood of Nazareth. The investigation, assigned to the Northern District's Central Unit, was conducted undercover for more than nine months. This morning, as the investigation became overt, detectives from the Northern District Central Unit and Border Police officers raided the suspect's home and arrested him. He was brought before the Nazareth-Nof Hagalil Magistrate's Court, which extended his remand until October 1. Footage from the incident shows two masked individuals shooting the victims at close range. Two weapons believed to have been used by the shooters were found at the scene. The investigation is ongoing.
