MB in Israel leader shot dead in Jaffa, 2nd man moderately wounded
|
[IsraelTimes] Fatality named as Muhammad Abu Nijm; earlier, 145 people arrested overnight in northern village of Tur’an over suspected involvement in brawls, shootings, arson.
Arab on Arab — though Hamas loudly proclaims this yet another Israeli assassination — but with potential concerns for Israel. A bigwig in the Islamic Movement
...the Islamic Movement in Israel is the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood, appearing on the scene in the 1970s, then splitting into the usual militant and political arms: the outlawed militant Northern Branch, based in Umm al-Fahm in the Galilee, and the Southern Branch, based in Kafr Qasim near Tel Aviv, which hopes to achieve the same goals via Israeli politics and is part of the Obama-era Arab Joint List project. It’s been estimated that 10% of Israel’s Arabs are connected to the organization, if only as recipients of its many charities. Raed Saleh is the Northern Branch’s fiery big kahuna, though he fancies the title "Sheikh of Al Aqsa" as more suitable, and openly supports Hamas, Erdogan’s Turkey, and the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. He cycles in and out of Israeli prisons for all the usual reasons... was rubbed out and a second man suffered a sucking chest wound moderately injured on Sunday when a gunman opened fire in the central city of Jaffa.
The Northern Branch expanded into Jaffa two decades ago, belatedly attracted by the 40% of the population that is Arab... Mohammad Abu Nijm, a well-known activist in the political movement,
...in this case alternate terms for fiery emir and Muslim terror group, though no doubt he oversaw the charities as well... was critically injured in the shooting. He and the second man were taken to Wolfson Hospital in Holon for treatment, where Abu Nijm later departed this vale of tears.

There were no details given on the identity of the second man.
According to the Abraham Initiatives, 12 Arabs have been killed since the beginning of 2021 inside Israel. Seven were Arab Israeli citizens, while another five were East Jerusalem Paleostinians or Paleostinians working inside Israel.
Channel 12 news reported that the shooting on HaSaba Mishpola Street in the coastal city was being investigated by police as an liquidation attempt and that a manhunt was underway.
In 2020, 96 Arab Israelis were killed, by far the highest annual toll in recent memory. Many Arab Israelis blame the crisis on police inaction, saying that police do not enforce the law in their cities and towns.
The absence of the rule of law, Arab politicians allege, has enabled illegal weaponry, protection rackets and organized crime organizations to spread freely in Arab communities.
Earlier, police arrested 145 people in a series of overnight raids in the northern village of Tur’an on suspicion of involvement in a series of violent mostly peaceful incidents. According to a statement by police, the suspects were held over brawls, arson attacks and shooting incidents. Around 250 officers carried out the overnight operation, which came in the wake of a feud between two families in the village.
In a meeting with Arab mayors last week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to pass a wide-ranging plan to combat violence and crime in Arab communities, likening the struggle against organized crime to the fight against terrorism. They are set to meet again on Sunday evening.
It was not the first time, however, that Netanyahu has vowed to pass an anti-violence plan. In November, the premier made much the same pledge to Joint List MK Mansour Abbas’s parliamentary committee on violence and crime in the Arab sector.
In a parliamentary democracy, the prime minister is limited by the willingness of the MPs to vote for his proposals. In the meantime Bibi must make do with executive orders. Netanyahu has recently been campaigning for support from Arab Israelis ahead of the March elections, in a stark about-face from his party’s previous unsubstantiated warnings of electoral fraud in Arab communities
...which parallel President Trump’s similarly supported warnings here... and repeated attacks on Arab politicians.
