Brawl in front of Soroka Hospital, two injured (police spokeswoman)
The heads of Bedouin authorities in the Negev this morning (Monday) expressed disgust at the incident of violence that took place last night near Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva.
"We strongly condemn this criminal act. It is outrageous and infuriating for them to do such a thing."
Said Faiz Abu Sayhben, Mayor of Rahat.
"The sanctity of a hospital is like the sanctity of a mosque."
Last night, a huge brawl broke out outside the emergency room, among Bedouin families, during which shots were even fired.
"Today I will come to the Soroka management to apologize on behalf of the residents of Rahat for what happened last night. We must put an end to this."
Added Abu Sayhaven.
"This harms not only the Jewish population, but also the Bedouin population in the Negev. We demand from the government a deep treatment of the phenomena that occur within our localities every day. The phenomena within our localities must be addressed before it reaches Be'er Sheva."
The head of the Tel Sheva council, Omar Abu Rakeik, expressed pain at what happened at the hospital.
"Soroka is a hospital that unites Bedouin Arabs and Jews and a place that symbolizes more than any coexistence in the Negev. It is a crossing of a red line and must not be passed over in silence."

Social activist Raed Abu Alqain protested the police's handling of the ongoing clan conflict.
"The first incident between the two clans that led to the brawl developed near the town station and the police should have put an end already then. We have been shouting for years about these phenomena in our localities and now it has reached Be'er Sheva and the whole country has risen. We strongly condemn this ugly and criminal phenomenon. "This is a very serious crossing of the Red Line. The Bedouin localities must be dealt with severely by the shooting incidents and the punishment must be aggravated with the shooters and gunmen. Our hearts go out to the medical staff and staff at Soroka Hospital."
"I will come to Soroka to apologize on behalf of the residents of Rahat."

The mass brawl broke out last night between the Talalka and Alexasi families at Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva and lasted for about an hour. Young people were immediately seen throwing stones and hitting each other and even heard gunshots, near a city enforcement vehicle.
Four were injured and needed medical treatment, two were injured by stab wounds and two were injured. Police arrested 19 suspects and opened an investigation into the incident.
One of the brothers said he learned of what was happening outside the hospital while treating patients in the emergency room. "We were in the emergency room and we took care of the people," he said. "We heard the shots and asked not to go out. Suddenly everything becomes stressful and scary. Jews and Arabs are treated here, no one is afraid. We will be scary here." Another employee at the hospital added: "We are working shoulder to shoulder with Jews and Arabs. This is the first time I have seen such a thing."
"People were hysterical. For us, the hospital is a bubble of sanity," the employee said. Another worker described: "Everyone ran away and was afraid,Like in a horror movie. "

This is another incident of violence in Arab society and in the Negev in particular, in which many residents live in a sense of helplessness in light of the lack of governance.
On October 30, a mass brawl broke out in the area of the Hura Council in the Negev, against the background of a dispute over land in the council of members of the same clan.
During the brawl, the participants, including children, were documented throwing stones at each other and a tractor crushing the participants.
Police arrested three suspects.
In early October, police arrested a 15-year-old boy in the town of Hura where the fight took place, in his possession of a Glock pistol and two cartridges with bullets.
This, after the police were called to the settlement when they received reports of gunshots, and police officers who apprehended the boy on the spot conducted a search of him and brought him in for questioning.
