Woman shot dead in Ramle, raising 2024 crime wave toll in Arab community to 153
A 20-year-old woman was shot dead in a Ramle parking lot, police and medics say, in the latest incident in the ongoing crime wave plaguing the Arab community.
Paramedics who arrived on the scene found the woman critically wounded and without signs of life, the Magen David Adom ambulance service says in a statement, adding they treated her and took her to hospital.
Doctors at Asaf Rofe Medical Center declared her dead shortly after arriving.
Police say they are investigating the incident.
The Abraham Initiatives crime watchdog says she is the eighth Arab Israeli woman to be murdered this year, and the 153rd Arab Israeli overall to have been killed since the beginning of 2024.
