Kafr Qassem killing
On Saturday 27-year-old Johar Abu Jaber was killed in Arab town of Kafr Qassem.
Jaber, a known figure in the criminal underworld, was shot by two masked men close to a bakery in the town.
He managed to enter the bakery, where he collapsed. Paramedics were unable to save his life and declared him dead.
The shooters escaped the scene.
Police reportedly believe the slaying was part of an ongoing conflict between crime families.
We can't do this work alone.
The war with Iran has been draining for all of us in Israel. But when I heard about a high casualty incident – ballistic missile impacts in Arad and Dimona that left nearly 200 people wounded – I drank a cup of coffee, packed a bag, and headed south.
There, I spoke with Shilgit, the head of an after-school program for underprivileged youth. Standing outside her destroyed center, Shilgit said it was a miracle that no children were hurt and spoke about the community coming together in the hours since.
As a Times of Israel reporter, I’m committed to telling stories of resilience like Shilgit’s. But my colleagues and I can't do this alone. If you value work like this, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to keep real human reporting like this going.
