01 · THE DISPATCH

Israel Police's Lahav 433 investigative unit has solved the murder of Hadi Sawaed, who was shot more than 20 times in Shefa-Amr earlier this May. An indictment will be filed today against two suspects in their 20s, according to N12. The killing was part of an ongoing conflict between the Sawaed and Khalidi crime families that has already claimed dozens of victims.

The case is part of a broader wave of criminal violence in the Arab community that The Zioneer has been tracking. Earlier the same week, a 19-year-old woman was lured to Ramla and executed in a pre-planned shooting, and in Jaffa a revenge attack killed 17-year-old Ahmed Jabari, with police investigating links to a car bomb that killed 38-year-old Iyad Gharb. The Shefa-Amr murder has no confirmed link to those incidents at this time.
