Prosecutors have filed charges against a 23-year-old man from Deir al-Asad for allegedly breaking into two stores in the Galilee town of Ba'ana and attempting to steal money. The incident occurred on September 28, 2026, when the suspect entered a store while the owner was arranging drinks outside the checkout area. The man then went to the cash register, attempting to open it and steal money. When discovered, he grabbed the keys, confronted the owner, brandished a knife, and threatened him while demanding cash. Investigators also linked the suspect to a separate incident where he allegedly rode a bicycle to a grocery store, entered through a window, stole hundreds of shekels from the cash register, and fled. Following the investigation, the Northern Galilee District Attorney's Office filed the indictment against the man at the Acre Magistrate's Court.
