Man killed in car explosion in suspected gangland assassination in Tira
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA man has been killed in a car-bombing in Tira in a suspected gangland assassination.
Police say they received calls about an explosion in the central Arab-majority city in Israel and found “a lifeless person” in a burning vehicle.
The remnants of the explosion were handled by police sappers, the police say.
The suspected assassination comes just over 24 hours after another suspected murder in Tira. On Tuesday, a man in his 30s was found dead in his own backyard after being fatally shot.
There is a violent crime epidemic in the Arab community, with homicides last year reaching an all-time record at more than double the number for 2022.
