About 100 people are taking part today (Friday) in a demonstration in Qalansawa following the double assassination in the city where two young men were shot dead.
At the same time, the weekly demonstration will take place in Umm al-Fahm in protest of the wave of violence and crime in the sector and the incompetence of the police.
This is the tenth week in a row that the demonstration is taking place in the city.
In the night incident in Qalansawa, 20-year-old Lith Nasra and 22-year-old Muhammad Khatib were shot dead, apparently during a conflict between criminals.
Medical teams determined Nasra's death on the spot, and at the Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva, Khatib - a nephew of Kalenswa municipality director Ashraf Khatib, who survived an assassination attempt a few days ago, died of his wounds. Police said they have opened an investigation and are scanning for suspects.
