A doctor was shot dead in his clinic in the northern town of Kafr Yasif this evening, according to police and paramedic spokespeople. He is the sixth Arab Israeli killed in a violent incident since last night.

Police say the suspects fled the scene after opening fire on their victim. Paramedics who arrived shortly after declared him dead on the spot. Officers have opened an investigation into the incident.

The past 24 hours have seen two deadly shootings. In Lod earlier today, a 14-year-old boy was shot dead.

In Abu Snan last night, three young men were killed near a kiosk in what is thought to be a revenge shooting for another murder two weeks prior.

A 46-year-old man was stabbed to death, likely by his former brother-in-law during an altercation in Abu Ghosh, according to police.
