A 7-year-old girl was killed after being shot in the head during a dispute in Arara, near Haifa. Magen David Adom paramedics treated the girl, who was transferred to the hospital in critical condition but later pronounced dead. Another person was injured in the same incident.

Unfortunately, on a holiday, an innocent girl pays the price for a crime. The village of Arara is relatively quiet compared to the rest of the sector - the great paradox is that the most normative or ordinary people end up adopting the methods of crime families in resolving every conflict.
