The victims were residents of the central Israeli city of Ramle, who moved about a month ago to the town of Deir Hanna, some six kilometers away from where the car was found.
Police suspect that the family was murdered as an act of retaliation in an internal feud within the Jarushi crime family, and that they were shot from a passing car. A short while after the incident, a torched car was found in the north with what appears to be an AK-47 rifle, which police suspect is connected to the shooting.
