According to a report, police checking for possible links between the killing of Atef Kalib in Haifa and a family of five in the village of Basmat Tab’un think that the killing of the family of five was a response to the killing of Atef Kalib that morning. Reportedly, the shooting in Haifa was thought to be revenge for the shooting of a man, Edmund Dibi on Saturday night. According to the report, the shootings have raised the number of arabs killed in violent circumstances to 188 this year compared to 80 during the same period last year.
