Police chief sets up command in Lod, says rioting worse that October 2000
Police Commissioner Kobi Shabtai establishes his command in the riot-wracked city of Lod, saying that the situation is even worse than October 2000.
“We are seeing a situation in the mixed (Jewish Arab) cities that we have never seen before, including the incidents of October 2000,” Shabtai says.
“We have not seen clashes like these between Jews and Arabs and nationalistic attacks like we are seeing here,” he says.
Widespread rioting broke out among Arab Israelis in October 2000 at the start of the second Intifada.
During the riots police killed 13 Arab protesters.
