The bodies of two men were found Saturday night in a car that went up in flames in a forest near Kafr Qasim, an Arab city in central Israel, police said.

The two men were reportedly shot dead inside their car before the vehicle was set alight, the Haaretz news outlet reported. It was thought to be a revenge killing for the shooting of another man a few weeks ago in the city, according to the report.

The two slain men were named by the Abraham Initiatives organization, which tracks murder victims in Arab society, as Ayoub Issa, 35, and Lutfi Amer, 25.

Police from the Kafr Qasim station launched an investigation and transferred the two bodies to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute to be identified.

The vehicle was still ablaze by the time........
