  "account": "In the past 24 hours, two deadly shootings in the Arab sector of Israel have resulted in a total of 158 murders in 2026. The first incident occurred early Thursday morning in Muqeible, a region in the Gilboa area. Ayman Jaramna, a 20-year-old resident, was seriously injured and fatally shot, as reported by Israeli media. Upon arrival at HaEmek Hospital in Afula, he was pronounced dead.\n\nThe investigation into the circumstances surrounding Jaramna's shooting is currently underway. Police have not yet provided further details. On Wednesday, another tragedy unfolded in Tira, where a 57-year-old man was shot dead inside his vehicle. Medical teams arrived on the scene and found the victim with multiple gunshot wounds, leading to his immediate death.\n\nThe Tayibe police station has launched an investigation into the incident and is searching for suspects. Police investigators believe the killing was likely connected to an ongoing blood feud. Additionally, Susan Abd al-Qader Bashara, a social activist and former city council candidate in Tira, was also killed by gunfire a year and a half ago. Since the beginning of the year, 158 people have been murdered in the Arab community, marking a high crime wave in the region.",
