Reports from Israeli outlets describe how financial pressure has driven thousands of people to rely on discounted leftover food, while hospitals overwhelmed by shortages are pushing patients into home treatment, even as armed criminal gangs turn cities into scenes of open street warfare.
According to the Ynet news website, a social media page with more than 25,000 followers has gained wide popularity by selling restaurant leftovers, wilted salads and fruit close to spoiling at half price.
Shop owners use the Facebook-based platform to unload surplus goods that are nearing expiration, typically posting the offers at the end of the day.
Administrators of the page issue regular warnings about hygiene risks, identify cheaper options and caution buyers that some packages may contain unpleasant surprises.
Some stores bundle the discounted items into single packages that must be purchased together, leaving customers uncertain whether they have saved money or suffered losses.
Hebrew-language reports acknowledge that many of the page’s users are workers and salaried employees, reflecting worsening economic conditions that, according to scattered accounts, affect large numbers of Zionist settlers despite tight media censorship inside the Israeli regime.
Meanwhile, the same structural strain is visible in the healthcare sector, where shortages of hospital beds and services have led to the rapid spread of home hospitalization.
The Hebrew-language Walla news website reported that severe overcrowding and heavy workloads have prompted many patients to accept treatment at home.
According to Walla, the practice is now widely promoted not only by hospitals but also by insurance companies.
The outlet cited logistical difficulties in transferring patients, the risk of contracting dangerous infections and the health ministry’s own admission that between 4,000 and 6,000 patients die each year from infections acquired inside hospitals.
Some experts said efforts by Israeli health officials to portray home hospitalization as progress instead reveal the regime’s inability to provide adequate medical care, effectively shifting responsibility onto families.
At the same time, insecurity is spreading across cities as armed crime escalates, further underscoring the breakdown of basic governance.
Hebrew-language media reported that Zionist criminal gangs turned several cities into scenes of armed confrontation over the weekend.
Israel’s Channel 14 television network published footage showing street battles in the city of Tamra, in the north of occupied Palestine, where masked gunmen used grenades and automatic weapons to attack a house in the city center.
Police claimed they only became aware of the attack after videos circulated online and said investigations were launched afterward.
The outlet reported that the incident was one of several violent crimes in the Galilee region in recent days, as residents complain of growing lawlessness.
In a related incident, armed masked men attacked a business in the city of Herzliya.
Ynet reported that gunmen opened fire on an ice cream shop that refused to close on Saturday, smashing its windows and causing extensive damage.
The deterioration in security has been aggravated by the widespread distribution of weapons by Itamar Ben Gvir among Zionist settlers, a move that has made policing increasingly difficult.
This comes as the Israeli army itself has acknowledged that large quantities of military weapons and ammunition are being sold by soldiers to criminal groups, tightening the link between economic distress, institutional failure and rising violence inside the Israeli regime.
