01 · THE DISPATCH

A gunman entered a mosque in the northern city of Shfaram (Shefa-Amr) at around 21:00 Jerusalem on Wednesday evening, opened fire, and then fled the scene, according to a report from N12's Oren Ravid. Police from the Northern District are conducting a search for the suspect. No casualties have been reported at this stage. Shfaram is a mixed Arab-Jewish city in the Galilee. The motive for the attack is not yet known, and details remain unconfirmed. As The Zioneer reported on June 8, a young man was critically wounded in a shooting near Shfaram — that incident was separate and is under investigation.

The incident does not immediately appear linked to a security alert or rocket fire; the Home Front Command has issued no related instructions.
