2 cops lightly wounded in Jaffa riot

Two police officers were lightly wounded when they were hit by rocks thrown at them in a park in Jaffa where a protest that turned into a violent riot is taking place.

According to Hebrew-language paper Ma’ariv, the protest is not licensed by the police, but an earlier Channel 2 report said the cops attacked by the rioters were there to secure the protest.

The protest by the city’s Arabs comes following recent events at the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

The rioters are throwing rocks at police officers and blocked roads with dumpsters and tires.
