Four East Jerusalem teens, including two minors, have been charged over stone-throwing offenses in a Jerusalem court.
All four, aged between 14 and 19, are accused of throwing stones over the Rosh Hashanah holiday last week.
The suspects, from different parts of the city, are accused of rioting and aggravated assault of police during unrest over the holiday, according to Walla News.

The prosecution has asked that they remain in custody during trial proceedings.
An Israeli motorist was killed in a rock-throwing attack in Jerusalem on Sunday night last week, drawing vows from officials to crack down on the phenomenon, including harsher punishments for stone throwing and Molotov cocktail attacks.
