Police say they opened an investigation after the body of a man was found in a car near the northern city of Baqa al-Gharbiyye, just hours after two men were slain at a gas station in Arad in the south.

The anti-violence Abraham Initiatives watchdog says it is the 36th death due to violent crime in the Arab community since the start of the year. That compares with 29 deaths during the same period last year.
