Man driving with his kids shot dead in Rahat
A man has been shot to death while driving with his children in Rahat, a Bedouin city in the Negev.
The victim, 31, had been in the car with his daughter and three sons when unknown assailants opened fire on him.
A spokesman for Rahat’s mayor tells The Times of Israel that the killing is linked to a dispute between warring families in the city.
Paramedics took the man in critical condition to the hospital, where he succumbed to his wounds. His daughter, who was moderately injured by the gunfire, was also rushed to the hospital.
Police are at the crime scene and have launched an investigation into the shooting. No arrests have yet been reported.
