A 67-year-old woman was moderately injured in Eilat in a severe violent incident, allegedly after being attacked by her husband. The incident occurred today (Wednesday) on Lofit Street in the city. Medics and paramedics from Magen David Adom provided her with medical treatment and evacuated her to Yoseftal Hospital, where she was suffering from penetrating wounds. Police arrested the husband on suspicion of involvement in the incident. The article notes that this incident joins a long line of domestic violence cases. According to data recently published in "Hayom," approximately 142,000 women have experienced physical violence from their partner, but only about 41% of them sought assistance. It also emerges that since the outbreak of the war, there has been an increase in the scope of violence cases, alongside a decrease in requests for help. In 2025, 46 women were murdered in Israel—the highest number in a decade—and in 82% of cases, the background was domestic violence.
