A 42-year-old man was shot to death this morning (Saturday) in Yirka settlement in the north. The victim, the owner of Hummus, was shot today while staying in his restaurant.

The police reported that they had opened an investigation into the case on suspicion of murder. The latest murder in Arab society happened yesterday, when Khaled Abu Juda, who was known to the police as the head of a local crime organization, was killed on Route 6 near the Baka Jat interchange. Another dramatic assassination in the underworld was carried out this week in the town of Beit Vezen west of Nablus.
