Fight broke out between two groups of youth; police arrest three suspects, and expect more arrests to follow.

By Roni Singer-Heruti

A 17-year-old Rehovot boy was stabbed to death overnight Saturday in a brawl between two groups of youths in the city.

Police have arrested three suspects in connection with the murder, and said they expect more arrests to follow.

At approximately 3:00 A.M., police received reports of a brawl that had broken out at Ben Yehuda street in Rehovot.

A Magen David Adom emergency medical services team arrived on the scene to find the 17-year-old, Adama Teriko, seriously injured from stab wounds in the chest.

He was taken to Kaplan Hospital in Rehovot where he underwent an operation, but the teen succumbed to his wounds Saturday morning.

Police said an initial investigation has found that the brawl was part of an ongoing conflict between the two groups, which had met in order to settle accounts.

    Biblical interpretation can be used to justify anything and sadly, over time, it has. Morality is all about knowing in your heart as well as in your head that something is intrinsically wrong and not doing it. Triumphalists of all religions have abused faith to abuse those with whom they disagreed for far too long. Secular religions over time become quasi religions themselves. Communism and fascism were nascent religious entities. The left today has all the trimmings of a faith. You ought to be careful who you condemn because any text can be used to justify extremism. Wishing evil on one with whom you find fault is a form of extremism. Who was it that said "let he who is guiltless cast the first stone".?

    Foreign worker obviously needs lessons in ethics i presume he / she would be happier in any other of the 191 countries in the world but of course i am sure that they are equally criminal or worse or he / she would be there.

    each other as they are doing to the Palestinians. I hope that one day they will use tanks and warplanes against each other. A criminal society as such deserves self-destruction.
