Commissioner Danny Levi met with local leaders from Arab communities in Sakhnin on Sunday, where leaders voiced concern over violence and organized crime. Levi underscored police commitment to fighting crime in the Arab sector and agreed to establish joint task forces, according to N12.
The meeting, reported by N12 journalist Or Ravid, took place in the northern city of Sakhnin. It comes against the backdrop of a sustained wave of lethal violence in Arab communities across Israel, which has seen the 2026 death toll surpass 142, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The agreement to form joint task forces marks a further step in the police leadership's stated efforts to combat organized crime in the Arab sector, following earlier emergency discussions convened by Commissioner Levi.
