120 Arab Fatalities in Traffic Accidents
A 40-year-old man lost his life early this Tuesday morning after being run over by a car on Highway 85 near Adjama al-Makar in Western Galilee. According to Magen David Adom, a report was received about a pedestrian injury on the road at 5:21 a.m., and upon arrival, the rescue teams found the victim lying on the road unconscious with serious injuries. Paramedics attempted to revive him, but his injuries were severe, and his death was pronounced at the scene. Investigations are ongoing to determine the circumstances of the incident, and the driver has been detained for questioning. Since the beginning of 2026, a total of 120 members of the Arab community have died in traffic accidents, marking a 20% increase compared to last year. Despite Arabs constituting only 20% of Israel's population, they account for over 39% of traffic-related fatalities. The majority of victims (47%) died inside private vehicles, while 19% lost their lives on the roads. The casualties include many children, youth, and adults, with a focus on areas between cities.
