Woman shot and wounded at a parking lot in Taybeh

A young woman is moderately wounded after being shot while leaving a parking lot in Taybeh, an Arab city in central Israel.

Security camera footage of what appears to be a targeted attempt on the woman’s life shows a man in a motorcycle helmet shooting at her through the driver’s seat window while she reverses her car.

After being shot, the woman quickly opens the car door furthest from the assailant and escapes into a nearby electronics shop. Inside the store, she is seen leaning on a counter, bleeding out while an employee takes out his phone.

Paramedics received a report about the incident at around 5:30 p.m, Magen David Adom says. She was taken to the hospital and is now being treated for her wounds.

Police have not yet responded to a request for comment regarding the shooting.

The incident comes after five men were shot to death across the country overnight and this morning, the latest killings in a violent crime wave continuing unabated in Arab cities and towns.

Jamal Zahalka, who heads the High Follow-Up Committee, the leading umbrella organization among Israel’s Arab minority, says responsibility for the rampant killings lies with the government.

He claims that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir “have the authority and tools to bring about an effective policy to combat organized crime and burgeoning violence,” but choose not to.

“This is not a matter of inability, but rather indecision and a lack of commitment to implementing the necessary steps,” Zahalka says.
