Man shot and killed in Tamra
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA man was shot and killed overnight in the northern town of Tamra.
According to the Abraham Initiatives organization, Muhammed Qaddura, 37, is the 194th Arab killed since the start of the year.
The watchdog said that 161 of the victims were killed in gun crime.
In its 2023 year-end report, the group pinned much of the blame for the surge in violence on Itamar Ben Gvir, Israel’s national security minister since the end of 2022. Ben Gvir, the organization said, had gutted a plan put in place by his predecessor, in cooperation with Arab municipal leaders, to stem the tide of crime in the Arab community.
