What Happened

A mother and daughter were attacked with a knife near their home in Ramla. The daughter is 18 years old, while the mother is in her 40s.

Arrest of a Family Relative

Officers from the Ramla police station in the Coastal Plain District opened an investigation and began searching for the suspect. Shortly afterward, a relative of the injured women—a man in his 40s—was arrested on suspicion of stabbing them.

Medical teams provided the two women with initial treatment and evacuated them to Shamir Medical Center—Assaf Harofeh. The daughter’s condition was described as serious, and the mother’s as moderate.
