Rishon Lezion attorney Arbel Feldman identified as victim in office shooting
Attorney Arbel Feldman is survived by his wife and three children. His family said it was in shock and asked that his photograph not be published.
Attorney Arbel Feldman was identified as the victim in a shooting that occurred in his Rishon Lezion office on Tuesday. The 23-year-old suspect, a Ramle resident, allegedly shot Feldman four times following a dispute over compensation money from a personal-injury claim related to a traffic accident. The suspect initially fled the scene but later surrendered to police, who are continuing to search for the weapon and investigate the circumstances leading up to the shooting.
Feldman's family described him as a pleasant, dedicated family man, while colleagues and friends remembered him as quiet, courteous, and devoted to his family. In response to the killing, the Israel Bar Association held a moment of silence and raised a black flag, calling for greater protection for lawyers and increased boundaries against violence and hatred.
