The incident of the stabbing in Bat Galim from a dormitory of the residents of the neighborhood

(Hai Fe) - The stabbing incident that took place on Mochash (23/12/23) in Haifa is considered an exception in the quiet Bat Galim neighborhood. The residents of the neighborhood are under pressure, full of fears and the incident escapes their eyes because the suspect has not yet been caught.

A day after the incident that happened last night on Hasharon Street in the Bat Galim neighborhood, in which a woman was stabbed, the suspect has not yet been caught. The residents say that they came out of their houses to neighbors' calls that there was an incident with a nationalist background when they saw a man stabbing a woman. The stabber ran away when he saw the neighbors and the people coming to the place. The incident created panic among the residents of the neighborhood as it is a tense and sensitive period of war. MDA and police teams arrived at the scene and the woman was taken to Rambam Hospital where she is hospitalized in serious condition.

Although this is apparently a frequent incident of violence in the city of Haifa in recent years, this created pressure and the residents were afraid to leave their homes.

The chairman of the Bat Galim council, Yuval Busin, is disappointed by the behavior of the police and the authorized officials who do not answer a simple question about whether the stabber has been caught in order to reassure the residents and inform them that it is permissible to leave the house:

I care for the elderly and young people who remain stressed and scared inside the houses without knowing whether it is safe to leave the house or not. This is a difficult situation of panic among the residents and I, as chairman, cannot get an answer to reassure the residents who turn to me.

City council member and neighborhood resident Yael Shanar:

There was a shocking incident yesterday. As far as is known, this is not an incident with a nationalist background, but an incident of violence. It took a long time for the police to arrive. Almost a whole day has passed and a suspect has not yet been caught. I expect the police to get to that criminal so we can walk around in peace. In a difficult and tense time when we are all on edge, we need to pay attention and protect residents from the disadvantaged groups.

Shlomi King, a resident of the neighborhood:

One of the neighbors started shouting that there was a terrorist incident and that those with weapons should get out. I arrived and found a decorated girl. What power does the standby class have? I think the emergency rooms should be active because yesterday there was no sense of security except for the resident who came out with animals and knives.

The Rambam Hospital informed Lahi Pa:
"The woman was rushed to the hospital suffering from stab wounds in her upper body. She is hospitalized in serious condition in the general intensive care unit while she is sedated and ventilated.'

The police told Lai Pa:
"The police accepted the incident and arrived at the scene within a few minutes. An investigation was opened with the purpose of finding the truth. At this stage, it is not possible to comment beyond what has been said."
