Man shot to death in Tiberias, woman found dead in Holon

Police are investigating two apparent murders overnight, both seemingly criminal in nature and unrelated to terror concerns.

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, marks 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 offer few details about the suspected killing.
