An indictment was filed against a 25-year-old resident of Arraba, accused of attempting to murder his brother with an axe at a construction site in the community of Yir'on, after the victim criticized his work. The suspect fled, reported to the police that he 'murdered his brother', and was found hiding on the shore of the Sea of Galilee.

An indictment was filed this morning (Monday) against a 25-year-old resident of Arraba for the attempted murder of his brother in an incident that occurred on October 8 of this year. According to the indictment, the two arrived at renovation work in a building in the community of Yir'on. During the work, the victim criticized his brother's work method, and in response, the suspect took an axe, struck him on the head, and fled the scene. Initially, the incident was reported as a work accident, but a police investigation raised suspicion of a criminal event. The suspect was located hiding in bushes on the shore of the Sea of Galilee, and later called the police emergency hotline and reported that he 'murdered his brother'. The victim's condition was defined as serious, and he was evacuated to Ziv Medical Center in Safed. The indictment includes charges of attempted murder, obstruction of justice, and driving without a license. A request was filed to extend his detention until the end of proceedings.
