Police in Israel's Northern District have arrested two young men suspected of firing at a residential home in the Arab village of Daburiya as part of an extortion attempt. The incident occurred shortly after the suspects allegedly shot at the property of a local resident to demand money. Following the shooting, patrol and undercover units, supported by a tactical drone, quickly cordoned off the area to locate the fleeing suspects. The police had reportedly positioned units in the area beforehand to track a criminal group involved in similar incidents. The victim reported bullets hitting his home's walls immediately after hearing the shots. A drone operator spotted suspicious activity near a scrap metal dump on the village outskirts and guided ground units to the location. Police officers then surrounded a dilapidated building at the dump site and apprehended the suspects, identified as local residents aged 19 and 23. Investigators believe the men arrived on electric bikes and then hid in the industrial zone. A search of a nearby olive grove uncovered the electric bikes and clothing sets, which forensic analysis confirmed matched the attire of the shooters seen on surveillance footage near the targeted building. The Northern District's Investigative Department has completed its evidence gathering and submitted the case to the courts. The prosecution has filed an indictment charging the suspects with illegal possession and use of firearms, firing into a residential area, and obstruction of justice, requesting they remain in custody until the trial concludes.
