A drive-by shooting in the Negev on Monday left two brothers dead, in what police are calling a dispute between Bedouin clans. Another man was moderately injured.
The incident occurred in the Bedouin town of Horah in the northern Negev. Two members of the Abu Sabit family, 22-year-old Louis and his 27-year-old brother Omar, were killed.
Police believe the incident was the result of internal tribal fighting.
A volley of shots from a passing car hit the men. They died of their wounds on the way to the hospital.
Police are investigating the incident and security forces have been deployed to the area to keep order. Roadblocks have been set up at junctions around Hura in an effort to locate the shooter’s car.
