A man suffering from severe stab injuries was pronounced dead at Rambam Medical Center, a hospital spokesperson announced in the early morning hours on Wednesday.
"Following the police report about a stabbing incident in Kiryat Yam approximately an hour ago, where the victim was transported to Rambam Hospital's intensive care unit, we regret to inform that despite several resuscitation attempts, the victim's life could not be saved. The identity of the victim is currently unknown," a Rambam Medical Center Spokesperson said.
Previously, the Magen David Adom (MDA) noted that the report of the stabbing victim had been received late on Tuesday night.
"At 23:15, a report was received at MDA's 101 emergency hotline in the Carmel Region regarding a man who was injured in a violent incident in Kiryat Yam," an MDA spokesperson stated. "Paramedics and EMTs provided medical treatment and transferred a man, approximately 50 years old, in critical condition with penetrating injuries, to Rambam Hospital."
Suspects arrested
Early on Wednesday morning, Hebrew media sources reported that three individuals had been arrested overnight on suspicion of involvement in the murder of the 50-year-old.
After being taken into custody, the suspects were subsequently transferred for further investigation.
