Fatal shooting in Ramla: One woman murdered and three others injured

A serious shooting incident occurred today (May 11, 2026) in the city of Ramla, in which several women were shot. According to reports from Hadashot MeHashtach on Telegram, one of the women who was hit was pronounced dead, while the other women suffer from injuries of varying degrees of severity. A police source stated that "it is estimated that the assassins were trying to eliminate some of the victims, and others were injured by stray bullets," and that extensive searches are being carried out in the area as reported on Telegram.

Preliminary reports in the security establishment point to a complex investigation. Elchanan Gruner notes that the incident began as a criminal assassination that escalated into gunfire in the public space, while Zirat HaHadashot reports that the police are also examining the possibility that it is an incident with a nationalistic background (terrorism), and that the Police Commissioner has arrived at the scene to oversee the details of the case as part of the investigation into the incident.

The incident caused repercussions on the political level. In Zirat War, Member of Knesset Gilad Kariv was quoted in a sharp attack against the government, and especially against Minister Simcha Rothman and Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, accusing them of failing to handle the crime wave raging in the streets according to the report.

At the same time, security experts are expressing criticism of the overall security situation. Dr. Eyal Hulata, the former National Security Advisor, addressed questions regarding the political echelon's ability to protect citizens in a conversation on 103FM (as brought in Zirat War), while criticizing the use of military means in the absence of a sufficient protection plan for the population as noted in the report.
