Man shot dead near Caesarea, police say; motive apparently not terror
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA man was shot dead a short while ago near Caesarea, police say.
The Magen David Adom ambulance service gives the victim’s age as about 45 and says medics found him in critical condition with penetrating wounds at a gas station at the Caesarea Junction.
The victim was rushed to Hillel Yaffe Hospital in Hadera while medics performed CPR on him, MDA said, before police confirmed he had died.
Officers from the Hadera police station are collecting evidence at the scene and scanning the area for suspects, police say.
The shooting is “apparently criminal” in nature, rather than nationalist, according to police.
