Man shot and critically wounded in East Jerusalem, police say not terror
A man is shot a critically wounded in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, police and medics say.
Magen David Adom medics are taking the man, in his mid-50s, to the Hadassah Mount Scopus Hospital while trying to resuscitate him.
Police say they are investigating the incident and that the motive is likely not terror.
Recent days have seen a dramatic spike in killings throughout the country, with some 15 suspected murders since the start of April. Over 90 suspected murders have taken place since the beginning of the year — more than double the rate of last year — with the vast majority of victims being Arab.
