A 17-year-old boy was fatally stabbed overnight between Saturday and Sunday on Herzl Street in Ashkelon. A second teenager sustained minor injuries. Magen David Adom (MDA) teams responded to the scene and transported both individuals to Barzilai Hospital in the city, where the death of one was pronounced. MDA medic Reuven Nach described the scene, stating, "When we arrived, we were led to the youth who suffered penetrating injuries to his body. We provided him with medical treatment, including stopping bleeding, and evacuated him by MDA ambulance to the hospital in critical, unstable condition, unconscious."
The police have opened an investigation into the incident. Officers who arrived at the scene began collecting evidence and searching for the suspects involved. Initial police findings suggest the stabbing stemmed from a criminal dispute between individuals involved in organized crime. The investigation is ongoing.
In a separate incident last month, a high school principal in the Negev was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a student during a brawl involving the principal's son and nephew. The principal's son and nephew were subsequently suspended from school, and the principal was released to house arrest.
