Peretz, who is under house arrest in Ashdod while a murder case is pending against him from 8 years ago, was shot in the doorway of his house on the eighth floor of the same building where the mayor lives. In the same event, a woman in her 30s was accidentally murdered and a soldier in her 20s was injured – Peretz’s niece, who returned fire with the M16 she had from her service in the IDF (does not belong to the criminal world).
The police are conducting extensive searches for a suspect in the act
Two and a half hours after the shooting incident this morning on Joe Amar Street in the Ma’ar district of Ashdod, the identity of the target for the assassination is revealed – aka the criminal Shaul Peretz who is under house arrest in Ashdod, in a murder case pending against him in court. The incident took place in the building where the mayor D. R. Yehiel Lesri.
The niece of the criminal Peretz, who was the target of the assassination, returned fire with an M16 and was injured during the incident. In her hands is an M16 from her service in the IDF. The rescue forces treated three wounded at the scene, including a woman in critical condition and two others with moderate and light injuries. The death of the 30-year-old woman was later determined at the hospital.

Why was he under house arrest in Ashdod?
.
About six years ago, Peretz was accused of murdering the young man Yossi Shariki in Holon, in a murder trial that is still ongoing. The District Court in Tel Aviv ordered the electronic shackle release of Shaul Peretz.
As mentioned, Peretz was accused of murder while committing the crime of extortion and conspiracy to commit a crime, and his lawyers’ claim is that he did not try to murder, but to threaten and pressure him to pay off Zagori’s debt.
Peretz has a heavy criminal record and has served a total of 12 years in prison. The court previously justified his detention until the end of the proceedings as follows: “His dangerousness screams, and in view of his seniority in the world of crime it should not be surprising that he was the initiator and the living spirit in the case of the murder that is the subject of the indictment. Hence, the request must be granted and an extension of his detention ordered.”
Since about six years have passed since the filing of the indictment (it was filed two years after the murder) and the legal process has not yet ended, the Supreme Court ordered an examination of the possibility of converting detention behind bars to house arrest with electronic handcuffs.
After the defense attorneys proposed a wide array of supervisors, Judge Kapah was impressed that they would be good to supervise the accused. In the end, the judge ruled that Peretz will be released to house arrest with an electronic handcuff, and will be under the supervision of two supervisors at the same time at all hours of the day.
He is also prohibited from making calls to any outside party except to his wife’s cell phone.
In addition, a restraining order was issued against him leaving the country and he was forbidden to have any contact with anyone involved in the case.
In the morning shooting, two other women were injured along with him, a 20-year-old woman who was moderately injured and another woman in her 30s who was pronounced dead at the hospital.
In the southern district of the police, as mentioned, the investigation was entrusted to the central unit. “From the details of the preliminary investigation, it is suspected that a suspect arrived at one of the houses in the building, apparently wearing a spotted/military uniform, and fired at a man in his 30s who lives there” – it was reported.
“As a result of the shooting, 3 people who were in the house at the time were injured, including 2 women who were taken to the hospital, where one of them was pronounced dead in the 1930s” – it was further reported. “The weapon suspected to have been used by the fleeing suspect was seized at the scene.”
