“I’m upset,” says Kasem Abu Al-Hija, 67.

On Saturday, four members of his family died when an Iranian missile hit the house of North Israel, which fell on the concrete building.

They managed to go to two safe rooms in the house, but the bulletal missiles hit him directly.

The majority of the Arabians lived in Tamra in northern Israel.

“They sung around what happened to my family,” Kasem says, softly, surrounded by relatives.

Video – The Jews of the Ultranationalist sings to the Israelites who often sing. Israel was very convicted of Israel, calling the Isaac Herzog “terrible and embarrassing”.

But there are more reasons to be angry about what happened to the wider community of Kasem and Tam.

Here – As with many Communities of the United Arab Most Communities in Israel, there is no public bomb shelter for 38,000 residents.

For comparison, the majority of the nearest Jewish has Karmiel, a population of 55,000, has 126 public shelters.

Tamra’s residents have long been lifted over the alarm inequality. In the north of Israel, about 10 km (6 miles) is located in the east of Haifa and east of 25 km from Lebanon border (16 kilometers) Lebanon, the town was exposed to the Lebanese team. In October 2024, a group that a group fired a woman seriously injured.

During Israel, about a quarter of the population have no access to the right shelter. But the image in the local local authorities is almost half of the ISRAEL state drivers according to the 2018 report, according to the available data.

“For many decades, local Arab authorities have received lower-state funding in various areas, including emergency training,” says the moon pile of the Institute of Demasty Israel, Think tank.

When shelters exist, “few are, they are badly maintained and often not suitable for long stays.”

BBC approach Israel’s defense to the ministry for comments.

Israeli Arabs – many prefer to call the Palestinian citizens of Israel – they form a fifth of the country in the country’s population. According to the law, they have the same rights with the citizens of Jews, but they complain about the discrimination of the State and are treated as a secondary citizen.

After the war of the Gulf 1990-91, when Iraqi missed Tel Aviv and Haifa, the Israeli government ordered that all new residential buildings must be a safe room, or as Mamad, known.

Three women and a young girl sit inside a safe room.

Most neighbors for Tamra do not have a safe room and have to share with neighbors

But the Arab communities often experience hard planning reductions, which creates unregulated construction and housing without them, activists say.

About 40% of Tamra’s homes have their safe room, local authorities tend to share most neighbors from the home of the neighbors. In many cases, due to the short period of warning, this is not possible.

“The gaps are huge,” Ilan Amita works to build the hostels of the Arab communities, Equality, Equality, and Cooperation (AJEC). “I live in Jerusalem. Each building has a bomb shelter. All neighborhoods have a public bomb shelter.”

As dark tamra falls, the population phones turn on at the same time with a screaming alert: “You must be close to a protected area.”

Follow the mermaids soon and neighbors – Fresh from Saturday’s strike trauma – panic. Mothers gather their children and people climb the street shouting. Several families go to a safe room in a house. Some crying, some smiles, other nervous. A man closes his eyes and prays. After listening to Boom Boom.

The issue of the hostel is even more pronounced in the Arabian Arab Bedouin communities in Israel. Many of them live in the villages in the Negev desert that does not recognize the Israel government, so they do not have shelters built for them.

The only victim of April 2024 between Israel and Iran, was a young girl from Israel and Iran, seriously injured and the parts of an Iranian missile spent a year in the hospital.

The hostel is missing around some of the poor Jewish communities in Israel, in areas like Tel Aviv.

A new survey of the Hebrew University found 82.7% of Israelis protects Iran’s attack, but 67.9% of the Israelis of Israelis. In addition, 69.2% of the Arab Israeliers reported feelings of fear on strikes – 25.1% express despair.

“Arabic society feels forgotten and left behind,” says Amitek. “There are large gaps in education and employment. There are large gaps in shelters, in the existence of shelters.”

Adel Khatib, a municipal official of Tamra says: “You can feel anger in the days when that happened.”

“We don’t get the basic needs,” Khatib says. “Most of the Arab communities have no culture, a community center or building for activities.”

According to official Israel statistics, in 2023, 42.4% of the Arab population lived below the poverty line – more than the proportion of the general population of Israel.

At recent years attempts have been made to close these gaps. In 2021, the previous government of Israel led to a five-year development plan for the Arab Association.

“We are in the middle of a huge jump on social development, reducing education, higher education and gaps in employment”, says April.

The actual governmental coalition of Israel is the hardest in its history, slowly reduced the planning plan – redirecting money anywhere else.

Some of these cuts adapted to the constant war budgets in Gaza, in the face of Israel’s cross-border attack on October 7, 2023.

“This government has just made sticks to the wheels of this five-year plan, it is not possible to implement extensive parts of him,” Amit adds.

“Between the last year and the central society, they found a rock and a hard place to suffer from the policies of the current government and, on the other hand, they are watching their siblings in Gaza and shear suffering.”

Outside the waste of the house, Mohamed Osman, 16, says, “Everyone is angry and sad.”

With Shada, 20, he said, “He examined his whole life. He wanted to be the best. His father is a lawyer, and he wanted to be like him. All these dreams disappeared.

“The best photos of happy families were … I imagine what I imagine I imagine.”

In front of the old funeral, dozens of community members gather, greeting each other with your hands, sharing coffee and tea and mourning calmly.

“Bombs are not choosing between Arabs or Jews,” says Kasem. “We have to finish this war. Now we have to finish.”
