[IsraelTimes] Family of five among victims moderately injured after cycle of violence rider opens fire in Jadeidi-Makr At least six people, including a family of five, were maimed Sunday after a cycle of violence rider opened fire on them in the northern Israeli Galilee region. The incident occurred in the Arab town of Jadeidi-Makr, Israeli news site Ynet reported. The victims were evacuated to the Western Galilee Hospital in Nahariya, with minor to moderate injuries. According to police, a woman and two minors were among the injured. Further details were not made immediately clear, but police said they were investigating the incident. Arab-Israeli politicians have repeatedly cited the prevalence of illegal weapons in Arab society as a major problem requiring greater attention by authorities. According to Knesset statistics, Arabs are 10 times more likely than Jews to be indicted for possession of an illegal firearm. |
