JERUSALEM - An imam was shot dead at the entrance to a mosque in the Arab town of Umm al-Fahm after Fajr prayers, Israeli press reported on Tuesday.

Sheikh Muhammad Saadah, 45, was killed at the entrance to the al-Tawhid mosque in the town in the Haifa district, west of the Palestinian West Bank, according to Israel's ambulance service.

Paramedics arrived at the scene and declared the victim dead as a result of bullet wounds to his upper body.

In a statement, the Imam's Association in Umm al-Fahm called on the police to launch an investigation into the killing.

Umm al-Fahm near the West Bank has a majority Arab Palestinian population.

The Arab Palestinian minority in Israel amounts to 20 percent of the country's population, yet citizens face institutional discrimination in health, education, politics and justice, according to Mossawa, an organisation that documents violations against Palestinian-Arab citizens of Israel.
