Ayal Al-Hayb, a 37-year-old resident of Tuba Zangariyya, died Friday morning from critical wounds sustained in a shooting incident near the Maghar junction on Highway 65 in the Galilee region. Magen David Adom paramedics attempted resuscitation efforts but declared him dead at the scene due to the severity of his injuries.

Further details revealed Al-Hayb was a prisoner serving an 18-year sentence for manslaughter since 2015. He was participating in a rehabilitation program that allowed him to leave prison for work. He was employed at a rehabilitation factory in northern Israel and was shot by unknown assailants while walking to a bus stop near Tsalmon Prison on his way to work.

The Israel Prison Service confirmed Al-Hayb was a prisoner in a rehabilitation program and that an initial investigation indicated he was en route to his workplace. Police have launched an investigation into the incident, describing the motive as criminal.

Emergency services received a report at 6:41 AM about a violent incident near the Maghar junction. First paramedic Fadi Othman described finding the victim, appearing to be in his 30s, unconscious with penetrating wounds on the sidewalk near a bus station. He noted a civilian had begun CPR, guided by emergency dispatch, before medical teams arrived and continued efforts, ultimately confirming the death. Police conducted a wide search of the area for the suspects.
