A man of approximately 50 years of age was shot and killed a short while ago in Rishon Lezion, according to first responders.
Officers are scanning the area to locate the suspect, police say.
“The incident is likely of a criminal nature,” rather than nationalist, police add.
Hebrew media outlets identify the slain man as a lawyer, adding that police suspect that a client killed him at the law firm office.
Medics who rushed to the scene found the man in critical condition, with penetrating wounds, not breathing and without a pulse, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says. The medics declared him dead on the spot, according to MDA.
