Prosecutors have filed an indictment against two young men and a minor, all from Nazareth, for demanding one million shekels and firing at least 48 bullets at a home in Kfar Manda. The accused, aged 18, 23, and a minor, allegedly threatened the homeowner, who worked at a gas station, demanding 400,000 shekels and threatening to blow up the station. The demand later increased to one million shekels due to alleged delays, with further threats to shoot the homeowner in the legs and target his uncle's residence.
According to the indictment, unknown individuals also fired at the homeowner's residence and the gas station during this period. After the homeowner refused to pay, the three defendants allegedly conspired to shoot at his house. They obtained an M16-style rifle, a pistol, and ammunition. Two of the accused, masked and wearing gloves, approached the house and fired at least 48 rounds, emptying three magazines, while the homeowner, his wife, and their three children were inside. The bullets penetrated the living room, kitchen, and bedroom.
Police officers near the scene opened fire on the shooter, prompting two of the suspects to flee in a car at high speed, pursued by police. Simultaneously, a third suspect drove his car behind police vehicles and collided with a patrol car. The other two suspects abandoned their car near an olive grove and were apprehended hours later. The three face charges including weapons offenses, firing a weapon, intentional property damage, and reckless driving. One suspect is also charged with extortion by threat and intentional damage to a vehicle, while the other two face charges of obstructing a police officer.
Prosecutors are seeking to detain the defendants until the end of legal proceedings, emphasizing that they instilled terror in the family by firing intensely at their home, with bullets penetrating multiple rooms. They also highlighted the suspects' dangerous flight from police, endangering other road users and officers.
