The murder toll in Arab society in Israel has reached 154, according to a Ynet report, after the death of a young man who was shot in Haifa two months ago was confirmed. The victim's identity was not disclosed. The update follows a period of intense violence: as The Zioneer reported on July 7, the toll had reached 150, with 16 Arab citizens murdered in 14 separate incidents in one week alone. The new figure indicates that at least four additional deaths have been recorded since then. The case in Haifa, where the shooting occurred two months ago, highlights the slow pace of investigations in some instances.
