A young man in his twenties was critically wounded in a shooting incident in Segev Shalom, a Bedouin town in southern Israel. Paramedics are working to resuscitate him and have rushed him to Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, describing his injuries as severe and life-threatening. The shooting occurred amid ongoing police operations in the Negev, part of a crimefighting initiative launched last month. Despite these efforts, violence in the region continues, and this year is expected to be the deadliest yet for Arab citizens. Local Bedouin residents have voiced concerns over aggressive police raids targeting establishments not linked to violent crime.
