Three Arrested in Tamra Barber Shop Murder Investigation
Published
Police arrested three Tamra residents, ages 17, 19 and 50, on suspicion of involvement in the July 7 killing of barber Yasser Abu al-Hija. The Northern District central unit made the arrests after its covert investigation became public, and police said investigators seized numerous pieces of evidence. Abu al-Hija was critically wounded when gunfire struck his barber shop and died shortly afterward; another man was seriously wounded. A court extended all three suspects’ detention through August 4 while the investigation continues.

Difference in reporting
Sources factually disagree on Yasser Abu al-Hija’s age: the police statement carried by PANET reports 34, while Ynet reports 33. The remaining facts are uniform: police arrested three Tamra residents, ages 17, 19 and 50, over the July 7 barber shop killing, and the court extended their detention through August 4.
