A man was shot dead in the central town of Gan Yavneh on Saturday evening in a suspected gang hit.

Police were searching for suspects.

Channel 2 reported that the gunmen fired on the man from a car, and then fled the scene.

Rescue workers from the Magen David Adom ambulance service who arrived at the scene of the shooting tried to save the man, who was said to be in his 20s, before he was later pronounced dead.
