A 38-year-old man was fatally shot early on Wednesday morning while in his vehicle on Highway 75 near the Kfar HaHoresh intersection near Migdal HaEmek in northern Israel.
The victim, a resident of Nazareth, was pronounced dead at the scene by MDA paramedics. The Israel Police opened an investigation into the shooting, which they have determined was a criminal act not a terrorism one.
"We saw a man about 38-year-old in his vehicle unconscious and suffering from severe penetrating injuries to his body, after he was involved in a violent incident," MDA paramedic, Meir Alisha, said in a statement. "We performed medical examinations, but unfortunately his injuries were significant and we were forced to determine his death."
