By Jack Khorie, Haaretz Correspondent
State prosecution on Tuesday indicted two youths from the Galilee village of Yasif for the stabbing death of a man from Nazareth over a month ago near Rosh Hanikra.
Issam Abd al-Hamid, 23, and Amin Fahah, 22, allegedly killed Hussam abu-Rabiyah in a brawl and are being charged with manslaughter and aggravated assault.
Senior Galilee police officer Shmuel Boker said the suspects arrived at the beach near Rosh Hanikra where the victim was staying with friends and entered an argument with his brother.
According to the indictment, the defendants stabbed the Nazareth man's brother, and then stabbed him in the heart when he rushed to his aide, inflicting wounds from which he later died from at a Nahariya hospital.
