A woman was shot and killed tonight in Jatt, an Arab town in central Israel, police and paramedics say.
The victim, in her 30s, was found unconscious and with no pulse by Magen David Adom medics who arrived at the scene of the shooting.
She was murdered outside a supermarket while with her daughter, according to the Arab48 news site. Residents tell the outlet that the assailants had been targeting the shop and accidentally struck her, firing a bullet that hit between her neck and shoulder, killing her on the spot.
Officers from the Baqa al-Gharbiya police station are at the scene and have launched an investigation. They have placed road blocks in the area as they search for suspects.
She is the 233rd Arab citizen to be killed so far this year in a criminal incident, as violent crime soars in Arab locales throughout Israel, with police failing to crack down on near-daily homicides. Of the victims killed in 2025, 22 have been women.
