Victim named as Dima Bushnak, reportedly with no known connection to criminal underworld.
TOI reports that a young woman was declared dead after being gunned down in the northern village of Sallama overnight, medics and Hebrew media said early Monday.
The victim, named in reports as Dima Bushnak, 25, was shot just before midnight Sunday while in her car near her home in the Bedouin village some 17 kilometers (10 miles) north of Nazareth in the Upper Galilee.
She was declared dead after being rushed to Ziv hospital in Safed in critical condition, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said.
Surveillance video of the shooting aired by the Kan public broadcaster appeared to show Bushnak’s vehicle trying to speed away in reverse, before it crashes against a low wall.
A man then runs up and fires into the driver’s side of the car. The man takes off, but quickly returns, firing at least one more bullet before running out of frame. A second car is then seen speeding away.
Police did not say if there were any suspects and did not name a motive. The killing is being investigated as criminal in nature, but police do not believe Bushnak had any underworld ties or links with criminal gangs that have terrorized Arab communities in recent years.
