Police announced on October 21, 2026, that a minor from Afula has been indicted for stabbing the father of a barber five times in the back following a dispute over customers. The incident occurred outside a barbershop when the minor, accompanied by his father, confronted another barber who worked at the same establishment. The other barber had also summoned his father, leading to a physical altercation.
According to police findings, the dispute escalated when the minor produced scissors from his pocket and attacked the other barber's father. The victim managed to push the minor away using a legally owned firearm. The minor then fled the scene but was apprehended by police shortly afterward. The injured father was hospitalized in serious condition.
Investigators determined that the conflict stemmed from disagreements over customers between the minor and the other barber. Approximately two weeks prior to the stabbing, the minor had allegedly made phone threats against the other barber and his family members.
The police prosecution in Nazareth announced the indictment against the minor in juvenile court yesterday and requested his detention until the legal proceedings are concluded.
