Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Northern District of the Israel Police force says in a statement that 82 overnight arrests take the total number held since the start of Jewish-Arab violence on Monday to 232, including 13- and 14-year-olds.
Police say the suspects are being held on suspicion of involvement in a number of crimes including rioting, arson and throwing rocks.
Of the 232 held, the courts have agreed to extend the detention of 116 suspects, police say.
The statement highlights two key disturbances in the north of the country on Wednesday night — rioting and the destruction of businesses by Jewish gangs in Tiberias, as well as rioting and the destruction of property in the Arab town of Kafr Kanna.
