Two men have been shot dead while driving near the central city of Ramle, medics and police say, in an apparent underworld hit.
Paramedics who arrived on the scene declared the two men, around 25 years old, dead at the scene, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says.
Police say the shooting is linked to an “ongoing blood feud” between crime families, and officers are on the hunt for suspects.
According to the Ynet news site, the identity of the victims is known to the police. The report also says that a burning vehicle — likely used by the hitmen — was found in the nearby city of Lod after the killings.
