A 50-year-old woman shot Thursday morning in Qalansawe has died of her wounds, Israeli media report, confirming a double murder together with a 62-year-old man. Police say the attack appears to be a blood feud tied to an ongoing family conflict; searches for suspects are underway.
The incident unfolded early Thursday morning in the central Sharon city of Qalansawe. According to N12, a man and woman in their 60s were shot inside their vehicle while driving to work. Paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene, while the woman was evacuated in critical condition to hospital, where she later died.
Police indicate the motive is a suspected blood feud stemming from an ongoing family conflict — a specific assessment the original bulletin mischaracterized as a general 'criminal motive.' Officers are searching for suspects; no arrests have been reported.
As The Zioneer reported in its initial bulletin at 08:11, both victims have now been confirmed deceased. The investigation remains open.
