Beersheba mayor calls on residents not to take law into own hands
The mayor of Beersheba, Ruvik Danilovich, calls on residents of his city not to take the law into their own hands. The appeal follows a deadly attack at the Central Bus Station earlier tonight, which left one Israeli dead and five injured.
“Not all Arab citizens of Israel are terrorists, and we mustn’t make them so,” he tells Channel 2.
It is not yet clear who the attackers are. One was killed at the scene; the other was seriously wounded.
