An indictment reveals a shocking incident where at least 48 bullets were fired at a home occupied by a family, including three children, following a debt dispute that escalated from 400,000 shekels to 1 million shekels. The perpetrators, identified as Abu Dubai and Fahoum, along with a minor, allegedly conspired to carry out the shooting after the complainant refused to pay the increased sum.

Fahoum and the minor, disguised and wearing gloves, arrived at the house armed with a rifle and a handgun. During the attack, one of them fired at least 48 rounds, changing magazines three times. The bullets penetrated various rooms, including the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms, but miraculously, no family members were harmed.

Police officers in the vicinity noticed the shooting and returned fire, prompting Fahoum and the minor to flee in a vehicle. Abu Dubai, driving a separate car, allegedly rammed a police cruiser from behind during the pursuit. The two fleeing suspects eventually abandoned their car near an olive grove and were apprehended hours later.

The prosecution emphasized the severity of the acts in their request for detention until the end of legal proceedings, highlighting the danger posed to the family and the police. They stated that the suspects instilled terror in the sleeping family through massive gunfire, which entered their home, and endangered the public and officers during their escape.
