203 killings in the Arab community since the beginning of the year

The number of murder victims in the Arab community continues to rise, reaching 203 deaths since the beginning of the year 2025, a toll considered one of the highest in recent years, amid governmental negligence and the exacerbation of organized crime.

Data indicate that 171 people were killed by gunfire, with 100 of the victims under the age of thirty, including three children who had not reached the age of eighteen. Ten murders were recorded by the police.

These shocking figures reflect the extent of the escalation of violence and crime in the Arab community, in light of the complicity of the Israeli police and their failure to perform their role in combating crime and holding criminals accountable.

This crime comes as part of an ongoing series of murders in the Arab community, raising the level of fear and anxiety amid rising violence and the continued chaos of weapons and the absence of deterrence.
