Police arrest four Lod residents suspected of the fatal shooting of a 72-year-old man in the city this morning.

The victim, a resident of Lod named Ali Abu Ghanem, was shot dead in his car in what police suspect is related to a dispute between rival clans in the city.

Detectives from the Central District’s investigations and intelligence unit worked with local officers to track down the four suspects, all men in their 20s, and arrest them.

Police intend to bring the four before a court to request an extension on their remand, depending on interrogators’ findings, law enforcement says in a statement.
