A man in his 60s, identified as Jawad Skafi from East Jerusalem, was shot and killed near Ma'ale Adumim in the Palestinian town of Al-Eizariya. Paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene, and police have launched an investigation. Authorities suspect the killing was an act of revenge for the murder of 24-year-old Mohammed Ashraf Shuwiki, which occurred several days prior.
Security footage captured four masked individuals arriving at the scene in a vehicle. Three of them exited the car, approached Skafi's door, and fatally shot him when he opened it. One assailant appeared to be filming the shooting with a phone. The perpetrators were then seen fleeing the location.
Investigators believe the assailants may have also intended to kill Skafi's son, but were unable to locate him. The earlier murder of Shuwiki, a resident of the Abu Tor neighborhood in East Jerusalem, took place last Wednesday. Reports indicate that four masked individuals opened fire on several people, including Shuwiki, who was critically injured and later died at Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Four other men were evacuated from that scene, two of whom were in moderate condition.
More than 180 people have been murdered in the Arab community since the beginning of the year.
