Couple Shot Dead in Their Car in Kafr Qasim Area, Police Suspect Blood Feud

A man and woman were shot this morning, Thursday, in Kafr Qasim in the Sharon region while sitting in their car on the way to work. According to the initial findings, the shooting was carried out inside the city, and both were hit while still inside the vehicle.

Magen David Adom medics pronounced the man dead at the scene after finding him with no signs of life and gunshot wounds to his body. The woman was in very serious condition and was later pronounced dead at the hospital.

Israel Police said Central District officers opened an investigation into the shooting, in which a man and woman in their 60s were shot. Medical sources said the man was declared dead at the scene, while the woman was evacuated in critical condition for treatment.

The initial assessment is that the motive was likely a blood feud linked to an ongoing dispute. Officers from the Sharon area and the Tayibe station, together with forensic investigators, are collecting evidence at the scene and searching for the suspects.
