Man Critically Wounded in Shooting at Gas Station Near Caesarea as Police Search for Suspects

A man in his mid-40s was critically injured in a shooting incident at a gas station near Caesarea on Sunday. Magen David Adom paramedics arrived at the scene and found the victim unconscious, without pulse or breathing, suffering from severe penetrating wounds. They performed advanced resuscitation efforts and transported him to Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera, continuing to fight for his life.

Police from the Hadera station responded promptly to the report, initiating an investigation into the circumstances of the shooting. Officers collected evidence at the scene and are conducting searches in the area to locate suspects involved in the attack. No further details about the victim's identity or the motive behind the shooting have been released yet.

This shooting adds to a series of violent incidents in the region over recent months. In May, authorities investigated a shooting targeting a vehicle in Hadera, which resulted in no injuries. Earlier in January, a 62-year-old man was fatally shot near an event hall in the city, leading to the arrest of a suspect connected to that case. The police continue their efforts to solve these violent crimes and ensure public safety in the area.
