A fatal grenade attack in Kafr Manda killed a woman and injured three people, prompting opposition leader Yair Golan to accuse Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s caretaker government of failing Arab citizens.
The blast struck a business in Kafr Manda on Saturday. Lina Qassem Zidan died, and three others were injured. Israel Police said it arrested three suspects.
The Abraham Initiatives counted Zidan as the 200th person killed in crime-related violence in Israel’s Arab communities in 2026. In a post on X, Golan, leader of The Democrats party, said Netanyahu’s government had left Arab citizens without adequate protection from criminal groups.
The accusation comes as Israel works to form a new government. President Isaac Herzog gave Yashar party leader Gadi Eisenkot a mandate on Nov. 8. The initial period is 28 days, and Herzog may grant an additional 14.
