Police say a man was killed in a shooting in the northern town Kafr Qara.
According to the statement, the man in his 40s was injured in the shooting but medics later pronounced his death.
It came as police were already investigating two other apparent murders overnight.
In Tiberias, Bashar Zarani, 23, was shot to death in an apparent criminal dispute, though his family believes he was not the target, the Ynet news site reports.
The killing of Zarani, from the Galilee town of Tura’an, marked the 241st slaying in the Arab community this year, a massive uptick from 114 killed at this point last year, according to the Abraham Initiatives NGO, which tracks murders in Arab society.
In Holon, near Tel Aviv, police say a 57-year-old woman was found dead in her home. Authorities offered few details about the suspected killing.
