Israel Police Commissioner Daniel Levy will convene a special meeting with the police's senior command staff on Monday evening to assess efforts against criminal organizations and violence in Arab society. This meeting follows five murders across four separate incidents in Taiba, Kalansuwa, Jaffa, and Holon, which occurred within less than 12 hours.
Bakr Nuseirat, 19, was shot dead at the entrance to his Taiba home after returning from a wedding. Another young man sustained serious injuries in the same shooting. Police indicated that the shooting stemmed from a dispute within the extended family, despite a reconciliation agreement reached several months prior. Bakr Nuseirat was murdered at the same location where his cousin, Muatasem Nuseirat, was fatally shot the previous year. Footage showed Nuseirat's relatives washing the murder scene following the shooting, and police body camera footage captured an officer asking them to stop. Police suspect actions at the scene may have destroyed evidence.
In Kalansuwa, Adnan Ghanem and Ghaleb Abu Ras were shot dead. Security camera footage displayed a vehicle blocking their path before gunmen on electric bicycles opened fire. Authorities are investigating whether these killings are connected to a blood feud between families.
An explosive device detonated on Saharon Street in Jaffa, attached to Iyad Gharb's vehicle, killing him. Gharb's six-year-old son sustained light injuries in the explosion, and another individual was moderately wounded. The blast caused extensive damage to nearby vehicles and buildings. A truck driver rescued Gharb's son from the burning vehicle.
Mustafa Abu Lassan, a Jaffa resident, was killed in Holon when an explosive device attached to his vehicle detonated near a gas station. Overall, 143 people have been murdered in the Arab community since the beginning of the year. The recent incidents are suspected to be connected to disputes between criminal organizations and families.
