Two people were shot dead early Sunday morning in Qalansawe, an Arab Israeli town, bringing the number of homicides in the community to four since midnight, Israeli media report. Police are investigating the killings, following a double murder in Qalansawe last week.
Two more people were shot dead Sunday morning in Qalansawe, an Arab Israeli town in the center of the country, Israeli media report. The killings bring to four the number of homicides in Arab Israeli communities since midnight — an unusually high toll in a single night. Police are investigating the latest murders, which follow a double homicide in the same town on Thursday 18 June, in which a 62-year-old man and a 50-year-old woman were shot while in their vehicle. The background of the latest killings is not immediately clear. Violence in Arab Israeli communities has been a persistent concern; police have in recent months stepped up enforcement and called for tougher state action.
