A 40-year-old man has been killed and his wife and baby seriously injured in a shooting in the Bedouin city of Rahat.
Magen David Adom paramedics evacuated the three to the Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba, where doctors pronounced the man dead. The woman, also 40, and her baby are in a serious condition and receiving medical treatment.
Police have arrested a suspect, the man’s brother, who was in possession of a gun.
The incident reportedly comes amid an ongoing criminal family feud.
The anti-violence monitor group the Abraham Initiatives says that over 120 Arabs have been killed in violent crime since the beginning of the year.
