'Arab blood isn't cheap': Hundreds rally at PM's office against police handling of crime wave

Hundreds of demonstrators rallied outside the Prime Minister's Office, voicing anger over police actions and the ongoing crime wave in Arab communities. Protesters chanted in Arabic, demanding accountability for recent police raids, including the fatal shooting of Muhammad Hussein Tarabin in Tarabin al-Sana. Last year saw a record number of violent deaths among Arab citizens, and the trend continues with sixteen homicides reported in less than two weeks this year. Tensions were high between protesters and Border Police, who formed a barrier and deployed horses and a water cannon. The protest, organized by the Higher Follow-Up Committee, drew lawmakers and community members, particularly from the Negev, as concerns mount over controversial police crackdowns in Bedouin towns.
