One of the dead, Muhammad Khatib, was the nephew of Ashraf Khatib, the director of the municipality, who was also shot two weeks ago in his car and seriously injured
.
MDA paramedics Ali Nasrallah and Naama Kremnian said: "The wounded were brought to MDA station in private vehicles with gunshot wounds to their bodies. We immediately began medical tests to assess their condition and began treatment. One of the wounded who was unconscious turned to Meir Hospital. During the resuscitation operations and the other two wounded were evacuated to Beilinson Hospital, "one of their condition deteriorated during the evacuation and we breathed it in."
As mentioned, about two weeks ago, Adv. Ashraf Khatib (48), the director general of the Kalenswa municipality, was shot in the car and seriously injured.
Police arrived at the scene of the incident and opened an investigation.
Khatib was evacuated by MDA to Beilinson Hospital while he was anesthetized and respirated.
After the incident, Minister Deri referred to violence in the sector and said: "What happened tonight in Qalansawa is crossing all the red lines. It is extremely serious that they are trying to assassinate a municipal director, a senior public servant.
The violence in Arab society is very severe and tonight it broke records.
I intend to talk about the matter with the prime minister as well and discuss with him ways to keep the employees of the local authorities. "
The interior minister also spoke with the mayor of Qalansawa, 'Abd al-Bast Salameh, and told him that he intended to contact the Minister of Internal Security, Amir Ohana, and demand immediate action to arrest the suspects.
