As crime continues to ravage the Arab sector, a shootout in the northern town of Tamra on Monday night ended with two dead and two wounded from police fire.
Violence has been ravaging the Arab communities in recent month, with local residents and Joint List lawmakers accusing the government of not doing enough to prevent it. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has campaigned in the Arab sector ahead of the March 23 elections, promising to eradicate the violence.
