A man was shot dead in the central Israeli Arab town of Tayibe in what police suspect is a murder stemming from an ongoing blood feud, according to Channel 12.
A 57-year-old man was shot dead in the central Israeli Arab town of Tayibe on Wednesday evening, with Israeli police suspecting the murder stems from an ongoing blood feud, according to Channel 12. Magen David Adom (MDA) medics pronounced the victim dead at the scene with penetrating injuries.
The Zioneer's reporting on the incident began at 21:25 Jerusalem, when ynet first reported a suspected murder in the town. Within minutes, at the same timestamp, Channel 12 cited police suspicions of a blood feud, and MDA confirmed the victim's identity as a 57-year-old man who was pronounced dead at the scene.
The killing is the latest in a series of violent deaths in Tayibe. As The Zioneer reported on June 28, 08:53 Jerusalem, Bakher Nasserat, 19, was shot dead in a family feud. On July 3, 13:41 Jerusalem, police arrested a suspect in another Tayibe murder, with a family feud suspected. The broader Arab-Israeli community has seen a persistent rise in violent crime and homicides throughout 2026, with police often citing organized crime and family feuds as drivers.
The investigation is ongoing, and no suspect has been named.
