According to the annual report of the Hebrew University’s Israel Observatory on Femicide (the killing of a woman or girl on account of her gender) there were 22 cases of femicide in Israel in 2023.  All of the perpetrators were men. According to the IOF report, sometimes the murder of women reported in the media does not constitute femicide, when she is killed by accident or in a criminal act, and not on account of her gender.  Regarding the ethnicity of the victims,50 percent were Jewish, 9% were foreign nationals, and 41% were Israeli Arabs, including one Druze woman, five Bedouin women, and three Muslim women. KAN's Mark Weiss spoke with Prof. Shalva Weil of the Seymour Fox School of Education at the Hebrew university, who established the Israel Observatory on Femicide.
