A magistrate's court extended by five days, until Tuesday, the detention of a young man suspected of attempting to murder his father. According to the suspicion, the suspect shot his father with a spear gun and seriously wounded him. The shooting occurred in front of his mother, who was in the family apartment at the time. After the shooting, the suspect fled the apartment, and the police launched a widespread manhunt. At the end of a manhunt that lasted several hours, the officers located the suspect hiding in an apartment in Netanya, to which he had fled, and he was arrested. The father, who was seriously injured, was evacuated by a Magen David Adom team to Meir Hospital in Kfar Saba, where they fought for his life. Police officers from the Kfar Saba station in the Sharon district arrived at the scene and opened an investigation to clarify the circumstances of the incident. The one who reported the incident was the wounded man's wife and the suspect's mother. Police are checking whether a dispute or argument that escalated into violence preceded the serious incident, and what lies behind it. His detention was extended to allow the police to continue the investigation without fear of obstruction.
