Magen David Adom says it received a report at around 11:15 p.m. of two people injured in a violent incident at a junction along Highway 40.
The two men, both in their 30s, were pronounced dead at the scene upon the arrival of the MDA medics and paramedics.
An investigation has been opened into the circumstances of the murders, with Hebrew media reporting that police believe the motive to be an ongoing blood feud between families.
