Arab Rioting Erupts in Israel
(Times of Israel) Intense Arab rioting broke out in the Jewish-Arab Israeli city of Lod late Tuesday, with three synagogues and numerous shops reportedly set on fire, along with dozens of cars. Lod resident Shiloh Fried told Channel 12: "Gangs of Arab youths are going street to street, burning stores, smashing windows....Jewish families are huddled at home, terrified of going out....Their cars are being set alight outside." The government dispatched several Border Police companies to restore order. Elsewhere in Israel, attacks were reported on Jewish homes in Ramle, where cars were also stoned. In Acre, a restaurant and a hotel were set ablaze. Confrontations were also reported in Jaffa.
