Mahmoud Hasarma, a resident of the village of Ba'ana in northern Israel, was found next to his car after he had been shot with 10 bullets to his upper body, medical sources said.

Magen David Adom rescue service paramedic Amit Orenstein said: "The wounded man was lying unconscious and suffering from a bleeding wound to his body. We performed medical tests but he was without signs of life and we had no choice but to determine his death."

An investigation has been launched to clarify the circumstances of the suspected murder case, and a search for suspects is underway,according to the police.

Last month, a relative of Hasarma's, Salim Hasarma, was shot dead in a parking lot near a house in Ba'ana. About two years ago, another member of his family, Ibrahim Hasarma, was shot dead in the same village.

According to statistics from the Abraham Initiatives Association, 106 Arabs have been murdered in Israel since the beginning of the year. 13 of those killed are women and 51 of the murdered were under the age of 30. In 87 of the cases the murder weapon was a firearm.

In addition to these, seven civilians were killed by police, and a Druze policeman was killed after being run over by an Arab citizen.
