Asma Abu Ghanem, a 19-year-old from Ramla, was lured back to the city under a false promise and shot at close range, according to Israeli media. Hours earlier, in Jaffa, Ahmad Jabri was shot dead at the grocery store where he worked; another person was seriously wounded in Lod.
Overnight and early Friday morning, two fatal shootings shook central Israel in what appears to be a coordinated wave of criminal or nationalist violence. Asma Abu Ghanem, 19, received messages promising she would be 'welcomed by people who missed her' in Ramla, but upon arrival was ambushed and shot execution-style at point-blank range, Ynet reported. Hours earlier, Ahmad Jabri was shot dead at the Jaffa grocery where he worked — an armed attacker on an electric bicycle fled the scene. Also overnight, a man was critically wounded by gunfire in Lod, and another remains in serious condition after a shooting in Jisr al-Zarqa. The Zioneer previously reported on the Jaffa murder as a standalone incident late Thursday; the new spate of violence across multiple Arab-majority cities suggests a broader security breakdown. Police have not yet confirmed arrests or a single motive.
