Jublis mayor remanded for 8 days after killing resident

A Rishon Lezion court issues an eight-day extension in the remand of Jublis Mayor Salam Amer, who shot dead a local resident during a fight on the steps of the Galilee town’s municipal building yesterday.

Amer claims that he shot dead Munir Nabouani in self-defense after he came at him with an ax. Representatives of the two families have agreed not to attack each other for a month-long period in order to reach a reconciliation, Army Radio reports.
