Israel's Lahav 433 unit has solved the murder and burning of three family members from Jaljulia, whose bodies were discovered in a car fire between the towns of Baka al-Gharbiyya and Jatt in September 2026. Police announced Thursday that an indictment statement has been filed against a resident of Jatt in his 30s. Three additional suspects are known to investigators and have been identified, but remain at large.
The victims, identified as 16-year-old Yazan Odeh, his 20-year-old brother Qassem Odeh, and their 22-year-old cousin Yahia Basmia, were found in the burning vehicle on September 13 at 2:50 AM. They had been shot to death in what police described as a "Red Riding Hood" method, a planned execution by members of the Hariri crime organization.
"This is one of the most brutal murders in recent years," stated Lahav 433 Commander. "The Yachbal officers have proven their professionalism and determination for the fifth consecutive time in bringing murderers to justice, alongside many preemptive operations to prevent further murders. Our fight against organized crime is uncompromising; we will continue to pursue criminals in Israel and anywhere in the world."
Police launched an investigation following the incident. The article also briefly mentions two other unrelated violent incidents: a prisoner shot dead in the Lower Galilee and a woman murdered by her husband in Tayibe over a bloody weekend.
