Man shot to death near Nazareth

A man who was shot during a violent confrontation in the northern town of Yafia has died of his wounds.

The death of Nazieh Hatib in the Nazareth suburb marks the 56th killing in the Arab community this year, the Abraham Initiatives advocacy group says.

The number of murders is nearly 10 percent higher than last year’s record-setting toll at the same point, according to the organization, which tracks crime stats in the Arab community.
