Hisham Khujirat, a man in his 60s, was shot dead today (Wednesday) in Shfaram. MDA teams who arrived at the scene were forced to pronounce his death. Senior paramedic Muhammad Ziadna said the victim was inside a vehicle, unconscious, without a pulse or breathing, with severe penetrating injuries. Police opened an investigation into the incident, began searches for suspects, and launched an inquiry into the circumstances of the case. The murder joins the wave of violence and crime in the Arab community. Shfaram has become one of the bloodiest arenas, with a cycle of bloodshed driven by a conflict between the Swaed and Khaldi families. Since 2023, 36 people have been killed in the city. A month and a half ago, a resident of the city, Ali Swaed, 24, was murdered, and on Tuesday the police announced they have four suspects in the murder: three residents of Shfaram in their 20s and a 17-year-old from Nazareth.
