Two young Arab men have been shot and killed outside a corner store in Haifa, in this evening’s third fatal shooting.

The pair was found unconscious and in critical condition by paramedics, Magen David Adom says. The victims, both in their 20s, were soon pronounced dead on the spot.

Police say forces are at the scene of the shooting and setting up roadblocks in an effort to locate the perpetrators. No arrests have been reported.

The double homicide comes amid a particularly violent night in Arab society. Earlier this evening, a Bedouin man was killed by gunfire in the Negev and an 18-year-old motorcyclist was shot dead in northern Israel by a Border Police officer.
