Co-existence workshop ends with rock hurling

A group of young students from a school in the Western Galilee city of Sakhnin threw stones at a bus full of students from an elementary school in Yokneam, after the two groups concluded a co-existence project in Sakhnin aimed at encouraging Arabs and Jews to live harmoniously.
No one was injured in the incident, but a number of Yokneam parents told Channel 10 News that they did not intend to allow their children to take part in the project again anytime soon.
Following the incident, the principal of the Sakhnin school sent an apology letter to his Yokneam counterpart, telling her that the stone throwers were suspended from school for a week and would be required to deliver a presentation on co-existence to their fellow students.
