An elderly woman was shot dead in the northern Arab city of Arraba tonight, police and paramedics say.

Medics found the 88-year-old victim lying unconscious in a house yard with several bullet wounds. They took her to a nearby medical center in critical condition, but she soon succumbed to her injuries.

The unnamed victim was not the shooting’s intended target, Ynet reports. The assailant had reportedly been aiming for cars parked nearby, but instead hit her.

Police have opened an investigation into the circumstances of the shooting. They have not yet arrested any suspects.
