Inmate killed in northern Israel after leaving prison as part of rehabilitation program
As Heib approached the bus stop on his way to work, a vehicle pulled up beside him, and shots were fired from inside. He was critically wounded and pronounced dead at the scene.
In northern Israel, a 37-year-old inmate named Eyal Heib was shot and killed on Friday morning while en route to work following his release from prison as part of a rehabilitation program. Heib, serving an 18-year sentence for a 2014 manslaughter conviction, was fatally wounded near the Nahal Tzalmon interchange on Highway 65. This incident marks the 20th death in a decades-long feud between two branches of the Hasarma family from Ba'ana village.
Heib was walking to a bus stop to catch a bus to his factory job when a vehicle pulled up and shots were fired from inside. He was critically injured and pronounced dead at the scene. Magen David Adom arrived at the scene at 6:41 a.m. to find Heib unconscious on the sidewalk with penetrating wounds. The motive for the killing was criminally motivated.
In 2014, Heib was convicted of murdering Ali Hasarma during a feud's early stages and had admitted to the act in exchange for a 150,000 NIS payment, receiving 30,000 NIS before his arrest.
