The Merhavim Regional Council is suing the youths involved in the mass brawl in Mabu'im, demanding financial compensation for damage to public property, cleaning of blood, and harm to the sense of security and image. Six were injured, four suspects were detained.
The Merhavim Regional Council decided today (Wednesday) to sue the youths involved in the mass brawl that broke out last Monday in the community of Mabu'im. The council will demand financial compensation for the costs of damage to public property, cleaning the blood left at the scene, as well as compensation for the harm to residents' sense of security and the image damage caused to Mabu'im and the entire council. The council stated that the public space and communities are the residents' home, and anyone who harms them and the community's sense of security must bear responsibility for their actions. The brawl sparked uproar in the western Negev area. During the incident, six participants, including minors, were injured in varying degrees and evacuated for medical treatment. The police opened an investigation and detained four suspects involved in the incident on criminal grounds. The council noted that the youths are not residents of the council.
