One man was killed overnight Saturday and another was moderately injured after they were attacked by a gunman as they sat waiting in their car in the coastal city of Netanya.
The fatality, 32, died of gunshot wounds to his upper body.
The second man, 19, also suffered wounds to his upper body and was taken to Meir Hospital in nearby Kfar Saba for treatment.
Shortly after midnight, Magan Dovid Adom paramedics received report of the shooting, on Gad Manela Street in the industrial area of Natanaya.
Magen Dovid Adom paramedics tried to resuscitate the older victim but eventually pronounced him dead at the scene.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
