In Jerusalem, Rising Arab Violence Against Jews
(Jerusalem Post) Violence against Jews living in primarily Arab east Jerusalem neighborhoods nearly doubled last month compared to the same period last year, with over 360 assaults against Jews reported in July, according to a report released by the Israel Police and the Housing Ministry on Monday. More than 70 attacks took place on the final night of Ramadan late last month. The majority of the assaults were by masked youths and young adults throwing powerful firecrackers, rocks and firebombs at the homes and cars of Jewish residents.
