In Israel, femicides have risen sharply since the government relaxed gun licenses following the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023. The Michal Sela Forum reports an 82.3% increase in women killed in their homes in 2025 compared to the previous year, with gun-related murders up by 1,600%. Experts link this trend to the increased presence of guns in homes, with post-traumatic stress, uncertainty, and economic difficulties contributing to the surge in violence. The Forum calls for gender-based violence to be treated as a national security issue.
