In a swift operation, Israeli police apprehended a shooting suspect on a plane at Ben Gurion Airport moments before its scheduled departure to Dubai. The arrest was the culmination of a rapid investigation following a reported shooting incident in the northern Israeli village of Kaabiya.

As reported by Kikar Shabbos, authorities moved quickly after receiving word of the shooting, managing to arrest two suspects in short order. The third suspect, however, attempted to evade justice by fleeing the country. Police tracked the individual to Ben Gurion Airport, where they successfully detained him on board an aircraft bound for Dubai.

All three suspects are residents of Kaabiya. The Nazareth Magistrate's Court has extended their detention with further details expected to emerge as proceedings continue in the Nazareth Magistrate's Court.
