A man was shot to death and his mother was shot and seriously wounded on Saturday in the central Israeli city of Tira.

According to the police and the Meir Medical Center in Kfar Saba, the man was evacuated to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The mother, 60, was brought to the hospital with wounds in her upper bpdy and is being treated in currently in stable condition.

Police are investigating the circumstances leading to the incident.

The man is the third victim in Tira this year. Two people were shot to death in January while standing outside a car wash facility near Tira, Ashraf Fadili, 43, and Odah Abd al Hai, 27. According to witnesses, an anonymous person shot the two from a passing car and fled the scene.

In May, an 18-year-old woman was shot to death outside her home in Tira.

Police said the shooter apparently waited for Zubeida Mansour and shot her when she entered the yard at around 1 A.M. before fleeing the scene.

Mansour’s death added to Tira residents’ fury over what they term the police’s failure to deal with crime in the city.
