3 Killed in Two Separate Crimes in Haifa within the 48 Territories

SadaNews - Three people, including two young men, were killed in a double homicide committed near the town of Al-Fureidis, and another in the town of Isfiya in the Haifa region within the 48 territories, on Thursday evening, raising the death toll in the Arab community since the beginning of the year to 176, including 10 this week.

These two crimes come just hours after the killing of 27-year-old Gigi Al-Hazil near the city of Rahat in the Negev.

With the two murders last night, the death toll from murders in the Arab community since the beginning of this year rises to 176, including 174 Arab citizens and residents, among whom are 18 women.

The data indicates that 150 of the victims were killed by gunfire, with 88 of them under the age of thirty, including three who were killed before reaching 18, and there have been 9 recorded cases of killings by the Israeli police.

These shocking figures come amid a surge in murder rates and acts of violence, alongside increasing accusations against the Israeli police of failing to perform their role in curbing crime and holding criminals accountable.
