The Israeli who was shot dead in his car in the West Bank city of Qalqilya earlier today has been identified as Amnon Muchtar, 67, from Petah Tikva, Hebrew media reports.

Muchtar, who leaves behind a wife and five children, owned and operated a vegetable stall in his hometown, and according to his family, would often purchase his produce from Palestinian traders in Qalqilya.

“He was a righteous man murdered by terrorists,” his son Nir says to the press, adding that his father loved visiting Qalqilya and knew the people there.

“Everyone loved him and he would help everyone. It’s tragic that it ended like this, he didn’t think they would do that to him there.”
