Ayal Haib, a 37-year-old resident of Tuba Zangariyya, died Friday morning from critical wounds sustained in a shooting incident near the Maghar junction on Route 65 in the Galilee region. Paramedics attempted to revive Haib after he was found with penetrating injuries but declared him dead at the scene.

Haib was serving an 18-year sentence for manslaughter since 2015 and was participating in a rehabilitation program that allowed him to leave prison for work. He was on his way to a rehabilitation factory in northern Israel, heading to a bus stop near the Tsalmon prison, when unidentified assailants opened fire on him at close range.

Initial investigations by the Israel Prison Service and police suggest the motive is criminal. Police have launched a wide-scale search for the suspects and are investigating the circumstances of the shooting. The incident occurred around 6:41 AM when emergency services received a report of a shooting victim near the bus stop.
