Wife, sons of Negev mayor injured as gunman shoots at their home
The wife and two sons of the mayor of the Ar’arat an-Naqab (Ar’ara BaNegev) Bedouin township in the Negev desert have been injured after a gunman shot at their home, Hebrew media reports, in what police say is part of a “criminal dispute.”
The assailant fired shots at the home of Talab Abu Arar, with the three taken in light to moderate condition to Beersheba’s Soroka hospital.
Police say officers quickly identified a suspicious car from which the gunshots were likely fired, in addition to more findings.
