A 41-year-old woman, Noor Mansour Qassem, a teacher and mother of two, was found stabbed to death in her home in Tira on Saturday. Authorities suspect her 53-year-old husband fatally stabbed her at least 13 times. Immediately after the alleged attack, the husband reportedly drank rat poison in an apparent suicide attempt. Emergency services pronounced Qassem dead at the scene, where the murder weapon was also recovered. The suspect was arrested by Tira police and taken to the hospital in moderate condition under guard. Initial investigation reveals the suspect was known to police for previous incidents, but there were no prior complaints of domestic violence between the couple. Investigators are exploring the possibility of a violent altercation preceding the stabbing, with the primary motive believed to be the husband's suspicion of infidelity. Qassem is the 26th woman murdered in Israel this year, and one of five people killed in violent incidents across the country since Thursday. This incident adds to a recent spate of serious criminal events.
