18-year-old shot, killed in Hamaam as violent crime surges
An 18-year-old man was shot and killed overnight in the northern village of Hamaam, police confirmed Tuesday, as violent crime continues to escalate across the country.
Authorities say the shooting is believed to be criminal in nature rather than terror-related, but the motive remains unclear. The incident comes amid a sharp rise in violent killings, particularly within the Arab community.
Recent data from the Israel Police revealed that homicide rates doubled in 2023, with a record 244 murder victims in the Arab sector.
Last month alone, 21 people were killed in violent crimes— more than twice the number recorded in the same period last year.
The spike in crime has raised concerns over law enforcement efforts and government intervention.
Acting National Security Minister Haim Katz, who currently holds multiple portfolios, is widely seen as a temporary placeholder amid speculation over the possible return of far-right Otzma Yehudit leader Itamar Ben Gvir to the government.

Segilola vs Osun: I’ll speak with my friend Adeleke — Reps Speaker Tajudeen
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Abbas Tajudeen, has said he will intervene with Governor Ademola Adeleke regarding the impasse between Osun State and Segilola Limited, a gold mining company, over a N60 billion dispute.
Tajudeen announced his planned intervention on Wednesday on the floor of the House.
Ojo Makanjuola, a member of the House, moved a motion calling for the intervention of the House to avoid further economic losses.
In the motion, Makanjuola explained: “Osun State has been demanding N60 billion and redeemable shares from Segilola Limited for acquiring Osun State’s interests in Tropical Mines Limited, but this has been rebuffed.”
He noted that “closing down mining operations by subnational governments could jeopardise efforts to attract foreign direct investment and could lead to divestment by existing entities.”
A point of order was raised by Taofeek Ajilesoro, a lawmaker from Osun State, who informed the House that the matter is before the court, noting that the intervention of the House would be inappropriate.
However, ruling on the point of order, the Speaker said he would intervene personally with Governor Adeleke, whom he described as a “friend.”
