Man in his 30s shot dead in Kafr Kanna

A man has been shot dead in the northern town of Kafr Kanna, police say, as violent crime continues to run rampant in Arab society.

Paramedics found the victim, a man in his 30s identified by Arabic outlets as Salah Jabr, in critical condition. He was rushed to the hospital, but declared dead upon arrival.

The killing comes after a string of nationwide protests demanding police take action against near-daily homicides in Arab cities and towns.

Jabr’s killing marks the 40th homicide to rock Arab society since the start of the year.

Police have launched an investigation into the shooting and say they are searching for the perpetrators. No arrests have yet been reported.
