Amichai Attia, a 17-year-old from the settlement of Itamar, was killed early Friday morning after being struck by a commercial vehicle in a shopping complex in Hadera. The incident occurred following an altercation that erupted between Attia's friends and the driver of a white commercial van, who was unloading merchandise at the location.
Security camera footage shows the 21-year-old driver from Kafr Mandā driving backward at high speed in the parking lot, pursued by Attia's friends. The driver then accelerated towards the exit, hitting and killing Attia. During the driver's attempt to flee the scene, a member of Hadera's emergency response team, who had been called to the location, fired at the vehicle. The driver was later apprehended by police at the entrance to Netanya and taken for medical treatment at Laniado Hospital in the city.
