Two young men were shot dead in the northern town of Basmat Tab’un this evening, police and paramedics say.

Medics found the two victims — both in their 20s — unconscious on the ground and pronounced them dead at the scene.

Police have opened an investigation into the incident. Israel Police chief Danny Levy is on his way to the northern village as cops at the scene set up roadblocks in an attempt to track down the suspect, a law enforcement spokesman says.

Four people have been killed in violent incidents over the past 24 hours, amid an unrelenting crime wave in Arab society that has worsened considerably over the past two years.

Last night, two men were killed in separate shootings in Tira and Kafr Qara.
