A 18-year-old Druze man, who is set to enlist in the IDF in four months, was moderately wounded after being stabbed outside a Tel Aviv club early Sunday morning. The incident occurred after a dispute that began inside the club on Kibbutz Galuyot Street escalated into a brawl in the parking lot.
According to the victim's father, the young man and two friends, one of whom is an IDF soldier, were celebrating a birthday at the club. He claims the trio was attacked because they were speaking Arabic amongst themselves. "My son said, 'We are Druze, there are two soldiers with me here.' But because of his accent in Arabic, they didn't believe him," the father recounted.
The father, a former career soldier in the IDF himself, stated that one of the assailants attempted to stab one of the soldiers, and his son intervened to protect him, sustaining a stab wound in the process. The victim was evacuated to Ichilov Hospital, where he underwent surgery and is now recovering.
Police have arrested three suspects, aged 18 and 19, in connection with the incident. A knife, believed to be the weapon used in the stabbing, was recovered from one of the suspects. The suspects were taken for questioning, and police intend to request an extension of their remand.
