Man shot and killed near Jaljulia
Police say a man was found shot and killed near Jaljulia in central Israel overnight.
The Abraham Initiatives, a coexistence group that tracks the violence, says the man is the 87th Arab to die in violent circumstances this year.
The organization says that 68 Arabs were killed in the same period last year, as the sharp spike in the Arab homicide rate seen under National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir intensifies.
The vast majority of Arab sector murder cases are left unsolved by law enforcement, with many community leaders criticizing police for not doing enough to deter violent crime in Arab locales.
