crime rates in israel

Over 179 people have been killed in the Arab sector since the beginning of 2023, according to the Abraham Initiatives.

Since the year began police have confiscated 1,233 pistols, 218 rifles, 493 improvised weapons, 54 shotguns, 453 different types of grenades, 231 explosive charges, and 166,176 rounds of ammunition.

The absence of a personal security feeling also affects people's actions in public spaces and even on roads.

Israel police have stopped multiple criminal assassinations in southern Israel in the past five days, as blood feuds between rival gangs continue.

Beersheba and Tel Aviv neighborhoods dominate the drug and sexual offences list while Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem top the homicide list.

Demonstrations were held in Dizengoff Square and Kaplan Street in Tel Aviv, as well as in Haifa. 

The deaths on Friday night mark the 73rd and 74th murders in the Arab community since the start of 2023.

A 25-year-old resident of northern Israel was detained for questioning following the accident as he is suspected of having driven the truck in question. 

Police suspect the murder occurred because of an internal family conflict.

Increasing police' pay and numbers is the only way to curb crime.
