Palestinian citizens in Israel are demanding greater protection from a surge in deadly violence that has claimed dozens of lives in recent months. Communities like Kafr Yasif have been rocked by shootings, often linked to organized crime and family feuds, with victims including teenagers like 15-year-old Nabil Safiya. Many residents accuse authorities of neglect and discrimination, citing stark disparities in crime rates, prosecution, and policing between Palestinian and Jewish communities. Protests and strikes have swept the country, as families and activists call for urgent action to end what they describe as selective enforcement and impunity for criminals. Despite official statements prioritizing these cases, many in these communities feel abandoned, with little faith that the state will address the root causes or bring perpetrators to justice.
