Shooting in Wadi Ara region

A 30-year-old woman was fatally shot in the Arab town of Ar'ara in northern Israel, on Wednesday night, according to Hebrew media.

According to the Magen David Adom (MDA) statement, the woman was sitting in her car in a parking lot near an event hall. MDA medics were called and tried to give her medical treatment but had to pronounce her dead while on the way to the hospital.

"When we arrived at the scene, we saw in the parking lot between the cars a 30-year-old woman unconscious with gunshot wounds, we gave her medical treatment and evacuated her to the hospital while performing CPR. We pronounced her death on the way to the hospital," MDA emergency medic Ra'id Abu Tuama said in a statement.

Israel Police have launched an investigation.

National Unity leader Benny Gantz took to X, formerly known as Twitter, saying, "Another murder of a young woman, as we approach 200 deaths this year in the bleeding Arab society. The price of failure is loud and painful, while the need for correction is loud and clear."
