A man aged about 51 was killed and another man lightly wounded when a car exploded on Highway 65 in northern Israel, Israeli media report. Police have opened an investigation; circumstances are unclear.
A car explosion on Highway 65 near Wadi Ara killed a man approximately 51 years old and wounded another man lightly, according to Israeli media. Emergency services and police arrived at the scene; the circumstances and motive are under investigation. The incident comes amid a series of targeted killings in Arab Israeli communities, but no connection has been established at this time. As The Zioneer reported earlier, a recent assassination on the same highway was linked to a family feud — the victim Imad Aghbariya was killed on June 12, and his son had been murdered a month prior. Whether tonight's explosion is related to that same conflict or a separate event is not yet known.
