The Northern District of the Israel Police said on Tuesday evening that it believes there is a connection between two shooting incidents that occurred in two Arab villages earlier in the day, one in Kfar Marar and one in Rameh, due to a dispute between the families involved in the shooting in both cases.

Northern District Police Commander, Major-General Roni Atia, assessed the situation together with his officers, and police noted that he "instructed the police forces to conduct operations that will increase the chances of offenders being caught, and restore the quiet to the villages.”
