Authorities announce that police units were dispatched to a home in Azor following alerts of gunfire. On arrival, officers found emergency responders from Magen David Adom attempting to revive a young man, but medical teams ultimately pronounced him dead at the scene. Two individuals connected to the event were detained, and professional teams are managing the case with appropriate care.
It has since been cleared for publication that the victim was Ori Mechtaiev, a cadet serving in the training brigade of the Israel Border Police. The Israel Police, together with the Military Police Criminal Investigation Division, have opened a full investigation into the circumstances of the incident.
Mechtaiev, nearly 19 and a resident of Azor, enlisted in November 2025 and was serving in the Combat Training Brigade. He leaves behind his parents and two siblings, who have been formally notified. The Border Police and Israel Police expressed their condolences and affirmed their commitment to supporting the bereaved family.
May his memory be a blessing.
