Two Palestinian Bedouin men were injured in crime-related shooting attack on Thursday near the city of Be'er Sheva in the Negev desert.

The 20-year-old is in a serious condition, while the 26-year-old is a moderate condition. They both received first aid at the scene of the shooting before they were transferred to hospital. 

This comes after another Palestinian in his fifties, The'eb Jarban, who is in his fifties, was shot dead in the beachside town of Jisr al-Zarqa.

Violent homicides among Palestinian citizens of Israel have become commonplace in recent years, with the community finding itself hostage to organized crime.
