Two young men from the northern Israeli town of Arraba have been indicted for assaulting security guards at Poriya Medical Center following an argument. The incident occurred on October 19, 2026, when a patient, who was in a hospital bed, requested to enter the emergency room with several companions. Security guards informed him that only one visitor was permitted, leading to an argument and threats against the staff. The patient then entered with additional people.
When a guard attempted to escort one of the companions out, the altercation escalated into violence. The patient allegedly head-butted one guard, causing serious injuries, while a second suspect assaulted another guard, also injuring his face, and then threatened the staff with a chair.
Police from the Northern District responded to the scene and launched an investigation. The two suspects, aged 26 and 31, residents of Arraba, were apprehended by officers. Their detention was extended periodically. On October 22, 2026, the police prosecution unit filed an indictment against them at the Tiberias Magistrate's Court, along with a request to detain them until the legal proceedings conclude.
