Police launch an investigation into the death of a woman who was shot in the northern town of Arara, the latest homicide in Israel’s Arab community.
A statement from the force says the woman was found critically wounded in a car near Route 65.
Medical officials attempt to resuscitate the woman, but later declare her dead.
According to the Abraham Initiatives anti-violence advocacy group, the woman is the 195th violently killed in Israel since the start of the year, an all-time high. Eighty-two were killed during the same period in 2022.
