Central police investigators in the Sharon region have solved the murder of Alexander Tsimakh, who was shot and killed in Netanya on May 13, 2026. A complex, months-long investigation culminated in the collection of evidence against the main suspect, who is believed to have planned the killing in advance.
Police announced on November 6, 2026, that an indictment had been filed against the primary suspect, along with a request to detain him until the legal proceedings are complete. The shooting is believed to have occurred in the evening at the victim's place of business in Netanya, while he was serving customers. The suspect allegedly entered the premises and opened fire, endangering others present.
Investigators suspect the crime was premeditated, involving surveillance of Tsimakh to determine his location and facilitate the assassination. The motive is believed to stem from a prior criminal dispute between the victim and the suspect.
The secret investigation involved numerous investigative actions and diverse methods over several months, leading to the identification of the suspect and the gathering of evidence linking him to the planning and execution of the murder. Following his arrest, the suspect's detention was extended multiple times by the court. The case file was transferred to the Central District Prosecutor's Office, which filed the indictment.
