Diagnosed mentally ill: Shahin family statement on the background of the stabbing attack in Haifa and the medical documents

(haipo) – This evening, I was given the medical documents attesting to the mental illness of the young man Shahin Yitro, a resident of Shfaram, who carried out the stabbing attack in Haifa. The documents were given to me for review by his family, who have been in shock since the horrific event, which ended in the murder of a 60-year-old man and the injury of several innocent civilians. The Shahin family is a Druze family, who loves Israel, whose sons have served in the army for many generations. The family is currently going through an extremely difficult tragedy.

Diagnosed mentally ill

I will not present the documents that were handed to me here, but I will provide a summary of what appears in the documents, at the family's request.

A thorough examination of the murderer's medical records reveals that he is a young man, 20 years old, who was hospitalized several times, during the years 2023, 2024, in several psychiatric institutions, both in Germany and Israel. He was diagnosed in Israel with schizophrenia with AST (persecution disorder), testified many times of suicidal intentions and that an inner voice was calling him to die. He was diagnosed with B-spectrum disorders and was treated intermittently with psychiatric medications.

Shahin family statement

First, we share in the deep sorrow of the family of the murdered resident of the village of Kfar Kana and wish a speedy recovery to the two injured.
As a proud Israeli family, whose fourth generation of sons has served and continues to serve in the security forces, and as a proud and flesh-and-blood member of the state, we saw fit to bring to the public indisputable facts.
This is a 20-year-old man who suffered from serious mental illnesses, as a result of which he was treated and hospitalized several times in Israel and in his home country, Germany.

The young man suffered from severe schizophrenia, autism, extremely late puberty, and had previously made several suicide attempts.
Due to the serious illnesses the young man was dealing with, he took pills on a regular basis and in large quantities.
The young man's health condition is known to institutions for mentally ill people in Israel, including Al-Mizraa in Acre and the hospital for the mentally ill in Tirat Carmel, and he is being treated by the Welfare Department in the Shfaram municipality.

The candidate must not have any criminal or security background and must never have had any connection with any political or public organization whatsoever.
Thus, this is an individual case whose background is insanity and mental instability.
We are very sorry for his tragic end and the harm he caused to innocent people.
We have the young man's medical documents that indicate his condition and the family's attempts to treat him through mental health institutions.

With great sorrow and grief,
Shahin family

  1. There is Cluster B of personality disorders which is narcissistic, histrionic and borderline.
    Autism has a spectrum.

    Understand what you are writing.

  2. The problem is the incitement that is being carried out against the state in the sector – and the main initiators are members of Knesset from the sector who are competing among themselves to see who is more extreme and more aggressive.
    In fact, to start a murderous stabbing spree, you need a motive. In fact, he was in Germany and it wasn't said what he did there, but it turns out that he had no problem traveling to Germany. How does that work out.. It doesn't.

  3. The question the public should be asked is why do these mentally disturbed terrorists go so far to harm others and not their own village/environment?

    It seems that most of the public is already sufficiently informed to know the answer.

    • You idiot.
      It's like asking why the mother from Herzliya murdered her son with an axe and blaming her.
      I hope most people aren't as stupid as you.
      A mentally ill person is not responsible for his actions and is not criminally liable.
      And to reinforce his words, he actually killed a 70-year-old Arab, and even the injured 15-year-old child is also an Arab.
      But none of this convinces him that he is mentally ill.
      There is only one convincing thing: when a Druze commits a terrorist attack, statistically they are more loyal to the state than the Jews. They do not have a prime minister assassin, nor do they have a Vanan, nor do they have a Rami Dotan.
      And no collaborating with Iranians during wartime.

    • What did you mean here, that such a huge group and everyone is honest?
      There were enough soldiers and policemen from the Druze camp who stole weapons and were caught, and there was Atef Zaher who was convicted of raping a female soldier who was subordinate to him.
      Enough with the generalizations, in every group, religion, and community there are honest people and there are criminals. And every person is different.
      This is not the discussion here in this article.

    • It is important to note that some of those soldiers and Magev, including Zaher, paid their debt to society and are no longer defined as criminals from a legal perspective, but rather as normative citizens, and I am correcting my response and apologizing.

  4. Bullshit, how much money did they pay you to say that the documents were delivered to you? Why did he choose a crowded central station? So if he was mentally ill, he could have done it in Shfaram or anywhere else, but the location was carefully chosen by him or his handlers. The timing is not coincidental. Ramadan and talk of renewed fighting in Gaza. Besides, what kind of mentally ill person flies from Germany to Israel alone and rides around on buses alone???? It's pointless trying to sell lies.

  5. Still, the person diagnosed wanted to murder Jews in Haifa, not Arabs in Shfaram. Very interesting.
    The diagnostician's sense of diagnosis is very clear, 😏

  6. The Shahin family is respected and all its members are respected. I am not here to hand out a certificate of honor to anyone, but the Shahin family deserves all the respect, and we are all saddened by the tragic event. Condolences to the family of the murdered man and thanks to them for accepting the Shahin family's apology, and best wishes for a full recovery and recovery for the injured. I call on all of us not to deviate from the truth or, God forbid, to interpret things incorrectly. The event is over. With all the sorrow in it. But it does not express the Druze society and its contribution to the state. By the way, I am from a completely different society, but I saw the need to respond accordingly.
    Abu Said.

  7. There was a terrorist attack. Everyone calls it that when a man suddenly arrives with a knife in his hand and murders an Arab. What happened to him? Hema, this happened to him. He behaved exactly like a terrorist. I was also very surprised, I changed Druze from a terrorist. It's not nice, he murdered and here we call it a terrorist. The Druze were very hurt that they called the Ohel Emet case that. He murdered an adult Agam just like that. It's a terrorist attack. That's what happened, it's just a matter of the case, how did he suddenly go out to kill? Where did it come from?
