[IsraelTimes] A resident of the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan was stabbed to death Thursday evening, with local residents reportedly saying that he was killed in a dispute over selling property to Israeli Jews.
The unnamed man, said to be about 50 years old, was taken to Jerusalem's al-Maqased Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
He's dead, Jim!
According to Silwan residents who spoke to Haaretz, the slain man and his killer were both members of one of the families into whose building seven Israelis recently moved. The argument that prompted the alleged murder had to do with an adjacent apartment block, where units were also sold to Israeli Jews, the report said. |
