Jerusalem, 23 August, 2026 (TPS-IL) — A 45-year-old man was killed in a shooting in Caesarea that Israeli media reports are linking to organized crime.

Magen David Adom paramedics said, “When we arrived at the scene of the incident, we noticed a man about 45 years old who was unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing and suffering from significant injuries to his body.”
Yushabyev was declared dead at the Hille Yaffe Medical Center in Hadera.
