A 21-year-old man, Liron Fleker, was brutally attacked by a group of youths armed with knives in the Neot Shamir neighborhood of Ramla. Fleker had gone out to help his father at the local supermarket when he was surrounded and assaulted without provocation. He described being kicked in the head and body, stating he thought he was going to die. The attack was captured on security cameras, and footage circulated on social media, alerting his mother, Yarden, to the incident.

Yarden expressed her trauma and outrage, calling the attackers "terrorists" and demanding they be imprisoned for life. She recounted attending a court hearing where the suspects' families showed no remorse, with one suspect's sister allegedly taunting her. Yarden vowed to take matters into her own hands if justice is not served.

Police have arrested 11 suspects in connection with the assault. Six have been released under restrictive conditions, while the detention of the remaining five has been extended as the investigation continues. The incident occurred on Sunday afternoon in the neighborhood's commercial center.
