Man shot dead in Arab city of Tira amid spiraling crime wave
A man was shot dead in the central Arab city of Tira, police say, a day after a deadly blast in Ramle.
Police say the man in his 40s suffered gunshot wounds and was declared dead by paramedics at the scene.
Initial findings suggest a criminal motive behind the shooting, police say.
Many Arab Israeli community leaders say police have failed to crack down on powerful criminal organizations and largely ignored violence in their cities and towns, which includes family feuds, mafia turf wars and violence against women.
