2025 was the deadliest year ever for Arab society in Israel, according to an annual summary report by the Abraham Initiatives published on Sunday.<\/p>\n
According to the data, 252 Arab citizens lost their lives in 218 incidents of violence and crime, a further increase compared to 2024, when 230 people were murdered.<\/p>\n
Some 88% of the victims were shot to death, which the NGO noted was evidence of the lethality of firearms and their intolerable availability. More than 72% of those murdered were between the ages of 18 and 40, with more than half aged 18 to 30.<\/p>\n
The report indicated that violence has become an ongoing national scourge, harming not only Arab society but Israeli society as a whole.<\/p>\n
Murders are occurring at a high frequency, without a basic sense of security, and are accompanied by a deep feeling of abandonment and the absence of an effective state response.<\/p>\n
This is a developing story.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
