A man in his 50s was shot and killed in Nazareth this morning, first responders say.
Paramedics called to the scene found the victim without any signs of life and pronounced him dead on the spot, the Magen David Adom emergency service says.
Meanwhile, three people have been injured in an apparently separate shooting in Kafr Yasif, an Arab village in the western Galilee.
Paramedics took the wounded to the hospital, including one man with serious injuries and two others with moderate injuries.
Police have launched investigations into both shootings. No arrests have yet been reported.
The two shootings are the latest instances of violent crime to rock Arab society, which has seen 113 members of the community killed violently since the start of the year, according to data from the Abraham Initiatives organization.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
