Bodenheimer (Animal Life in Palestine, 1935) has only this to say:
Other predacious flies are the Therevidae (Thereva bipunctata, Psilocephala laticornis) .....
From Wikipedia:
Therevidae are a family of Diptera Asiloidea commonly known as stiletto flies. The family contains about 1,600 described species worldwide, most diverse in arid and semi-arid regions with sandy soils. The larvae are predators of insect larvae in soil.
