125 killed since the start of the year

Thus, the toll of murder victims in the Arab community has risen to 125 since the beginning of this year, amid a continuing rise in violence and organized crime in Arab towns, alongside a lack of effective governmental measures to curb this phenomenon.

Data indicates that most victims were killed by gunfire, while criticism continues regarding the performance of the Israeli police, who have failed to curb crime and pursue criminal organizations, deepening the sense of personal insecurity and leading to an increasing number of victims year after year.
