A 17-year-old boy, known to police for violent offenses, died after being critically injured in a brawl in Ashkelon. The teen had been released from prison only a few months prior to the incident, having served time for violent crimes. Authorities initially believed the weapon used was an axe, but it has since been clarified that a knife was involved.
Two young men were wounded in the altercation, with paramedics transporting them to Barzilai Medical Center in Ashkelon. Despite resuscitation efforts, the 17-year-old's death was pronounced at the hospital. The victim had a history of involvement with criminal gangs, and his father was murdered several years ago. He was raised by one of his grandmothers, and the Ashkelon Municipality's welfare department is providing support to his mother and grandmother.
Police have detained eight suspects in connection with the murder. Three are scheduled for a court hearing regarding the extension of their arrest. The remaining five suspects were released with restrictions, including being banned from the city. Investigators are continuing to gather evidence, including surveillance footage showing participants arriving at the scene in two cars before the confrontation began.
