Two Arab Israelis Killed in Haifa and Reineh Shootings

Two Arab Israeli men were killed overnight in separate criminal shootings in Haifa and Reineh, deepening an internal-security crisis that has hit law-abiding Arab communities across Israel. The Haifa victim is identified as 18-year-old Jonathan Houri, with two men seriously wounded; a man about 30, identified as Muhammad Abdel Zeidan, was killed hours later in Reineh. Police opened investigations and searched for suspects, with the shootings treated as criminal rather than terror incidents. Israel must restore deterrence against organized crime while protecting Arab citizens who want normal, safe civic life.
