Police on Sunday arrested three men suspected of attacking and seriously wounding an Israeli Arab man from the village of Tamra early Saturday, after he went out with a Jewish girl in Kiryat Yam.
The suspects were released Sunday evening after witnesses failed to identify them in a police lineup.
Israel Defense Forces soldier Jalal Tawili and his older brother Mohammed escorted the girl back home, after which they encountered a group of young men, who according to the brother were immigrants from the Caucasus region. The group allegedly attacked them with sticks and stones. Tawili suffered a severe blow to his skull from a large stone that was thrown at him with force.
Tawili, who serves in the IDF as a driver, was hospitalized in Rambam Hospital in Haifa in serious condition and underwent brain surgery on Saturday.
