JERUSALEM, Sept 28 (NNN-MA’AN) – Five people, all in a family, were killed yesterday, in a shooting in an Arab town in northern Israel, the latest in a wave of violence sweeping through Arab communities across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Israeli police said in a statement that, five people were shot dead in a house in Basmat Tab’un, a Bedouin town in northern Israel. The victims were identified by Israel’s state-owned Kan TV as two teen brothers, a woman in her 40s and her 25-year-old son, and another male relative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The woman’s husband, a 49-year-old man, was moderately injured and needed hospital care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The shooter or shooters fled the scene, prompting searches by the Israeli security forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“A red line was crossed here,” police chief, Yaakov Shabtai told reporters at the scene. “The police will do everything to find the killers,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previous incidents of such shootings have often revolved around conflicts between organised crime syndicates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At least 188 individuals from the Arab community in Israel have been killed in violence, since the beginning of 2023, according to the Abraham Initiatives, a group advocating for equal rights for the Arab minority in Israel. This number nearly doubles the count of victims during similar periods in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arab leaders accused Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu’s government of neglecting the fight against crime in Arab society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Arab citizens of Israel frequently experience discrimination, poverty, neglected infrastructure, and high levels of crime, according to the Abraham Initiatives.– NNN-MA’AN <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
