Arab Israeli Murder Rates Surge Despite Government Pledges

The murder epidemic in Israeli Arab society is continuing unabated. After a slight drop in the number of Israeli Arab murder victims in 2022 (116 as compared to 126 the previous year), the numbers have skyrocketed. 244 Arab Israeli citizens were murdered in 2023, and 227 more were killed in 2024. This year, another 198 have been murdered as of October 12. This translates to approximately one murder every 32 hours.
