Revenge chases revenge:
After the arrest last night (Monday) of two suspects in the murder of Ihab Saadi in Nazareth, the district police arrested two men aged 20 and 42 from the victim's family who apparently set fire to the suspects' homes in revenge.
Later after the arson, it was suspected that the family members of the suspects in the murder whose house was set on fire were preparing for retaliation and were also arming themselves.
A search of the family's home turned up a Carlo rifle and a cartridge full of bullets.
Two family members aged 19 and 24 were arrested.
This brings the number of detainees following the murder to six people.
The Israel Police is conducting a targeted operation in the conflict in order to prevent further murders.

Iahab Saadi, a 48-year-old resident of Nazareth, was shot dead near his home in the city yesterday.
MDA teams arrived at the scene and evacuated him in critical condition to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The shooting incident took place amid a conflict between criminals and two suspects.
Police officers who were rushed to search and set up checkpoints throughout the city of Nazareth identified the vehicle and began a chase after it, which was joined by additional forces.
The suspects were arrested after colliding with a truck.
Later in the evening, the homes of the murder suspects were set on fire hours after they were arrested.
Firefighters in the Old City worked to contain a fire that broke out in a two-story building.
