A 32-year-old Israeli man, identified as 32-year-old Gasan Shamsiya from Acre, was stabbed to death on Wednesday in Dubai, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry. The man was a resident of Acre.
An investigation was immediately launched into the circumstances surrounding his death, and Maariv reported that the background for the murder was most likely a family dispute.
According to the Maariv report, Shamsiya fled to Dubai as a result of a dispute between two families in Israel, but members of rival families were waiting for him there and murdered him.
