Two brothers were shot dead in Ramle this morning.

The victims, Matin and Jalal al-Shamali, were critically injured by gunfire, reportedly near an elementary school and playground in the city.

Police called to the scene say the victims were found wounded in a car and taken to a nearby hospital, where they were pronounced dead by medical staff.

Ynet reports that the victims had two other brothers who were killed in previous shootings in 2019 and 2020. All three incidents are thought to be related to an ongoing violent conflict between families in the city.

Police say they are investigating this morning’s double homicide and searching the area for suspects. No arrests have yet been made.
