A woman, approximately 40 years old, was found stabbed to death in an apartment in Petah Tikva on Monday night. Medical teams pronounced her dead at the scene. Police forces arrived at the location and initiated a search for suspects.

The incident in Petah Tikva follows a similar fatal stabbing last month in Kiryat Haim, where Yana Zikova, 43, was killed in her apartment. Zikova was found in critical condition, and her death was confirmed by paramedics. Her 6-year-old son witnessed the event and was subsequently placed under the care of welfare services. Zikova's ex-partner, Belu Falakush, 34, from Tel Aviv, was arrested in connection with that incident. His father, Alexander Falakush, who was also present in the apartment at the time, was arrested alongside him.

Separately, the article mentions other recent violent incidents, including a man fatally shot in Usfiya and another man killed by gunfire in Reine, where a woman was also moderately injured.
