Man Shot Dead in Tayibe, Second Killing in Hours

A 59-year-old man was shot and killed in the city of Tayibe on Saturday evening. Magen David Adom received a report of the incident at 9:12 PM. Paramedics treated the victim at the scene and evacuated him to Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba in critical condition with a penetrating wound. Despite resuscitation efforts, his death was pronounced at the hospital. "When I arrived, I saw a man about 50 years old lying on the floor, unconscious and suffering from a penetrating wound," said MDA paramedic Elad Golan. "Upon medical examination, he had no pulse or respiration. We immediately began providing medical treatment, including resuscitation, and he was evacuated to the hospital in critical condition." Police from the Tayibe station in the Central District arrived at the scene, initiated searches for those involved, and launched an investigation into the circumstances of the incident. The motive is believed to be criminal. The man killed Saturday is the 192nd victim of violence in the Arab community since the beginning of the year. Earlier Saturday, Lina Qassem Zeidan was murdered and three others were injured by a grenade thrown at a candy store in Kafr Mandi. About a week prior, Il Hayeb, a 37-year-old resident of Tuba-Zangariyya who had been an inmate, was shot dead at a bus stop on Highway 65 near the Tzalmon Stream interchange in the Lower Galilee. The article also notes a violent weekend elsewhere, including a woman murdered by her husband in Tirah and police deploying snipers in Rahat, warning that armed individuals who shoot would be neutralized.
