Besieged by gang violence, Palestinian citizens in Israel demand more security

Protests follow a record 252 killings of Palestinian citizens last year, with only 8% of cases leading to charges, amid claims of police neglect and rising organized crime.

  • A 15-year-old named Nabil Safiya was killed in Kafr Yasif due to gang violence, which authorities later classified as a case of mistaken identity.
  • Palestinian citizens in Israel face a crime-related killing rate over 22 times higher than that of Jewish Israelis, highlighting systemic discrimination.
  • Demonstrations are occurring throughout Israel, including in Kafr Yasif, where residents advocate for justice after a series of violent killings.
  • Authorities are preparing to indict a suspect linked to Nabil's case, but residents feel police responses are inadequate and cite ongoing violence as a rallying point for demonstrations.
