Sixth Arab-Israeli Killed in 30 Hours as Crime Wave Hits Yafia

A 30-year-old Arab Israeli, identified by Ynet as Adnan Riahana, was shot dead in his car overnight in Yafia near Nazareth, and Magen David Adom medics pronounced him dead at the scene. Police opened a criminal-background homicide investigation; reports say another man, 50, was seriously wounded in Barta'a after returning from a wedding. The killing came less than a day after five Arab Israelis were killed in car bombings and shootings across central Israel, raising the 2026 Arab-community violence toll to 142, according to Hebrew reports. The state has a duty to restore deterrence and protect law-abiding Arab citizens from organized-crime networks terrorizing their towns.
