Israeli police kill Bedouin man during raid in southern Israel, local official says

The weeklong police crackdown on crime in Tarabin led to the death of 36-year-old Muhammed Hussein Tarabin, amid disputed accounts of threat to officers.

  • A 28-year-old man from the Bedouin village of Tarabin was killed during an arrest operation overnight between Saturday and Sunday involving a special police unit, Border Police National Guard, and National Guard commander Nachshon Nagler.
  • Amid prior searches, residents recount a rapid escalation on the night officers entered the house; police searched the man's house two days earlier and found nothing, and witnesses said the shooting unfolded within minutes with no talks.
  • Authorities and family members offered sharply different accounts of what preceded the shooting: Israel Police said the suspect endangered officers, prompting them to open fire, while relatives said the deceased was a father who ran a clothing store and claimed police shot him for nothing.
  • Police blocked Tarabin's entrance and kept officers on the scene, while National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir issued full backing and a support rally drew more than 1,000 participants including Knesset members and public figures on Saturday.
  • Residents say intensified police activity and arson attacks during the week have left Bedouin communities feeling abandoned, and Mahmoud a-Sana alleges police detain and photograph residents.
