Riots rage in Jabel Mukaber

Riots break out in the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Jabel Mukaber, home of the perpetrators of Tuesday’s terror attack, after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu orders the demolition of their houses.

Dozens of Palestinian protesters are hurling stones at police, Ynet reports.

Earlier, police arrested 12 family members of cousins Ghassan Abu Jamal and Uday Abu Jamal, the two terrorists who carried out the attack, Channel 2 reports.

Nine more residents were detained during clashes in the neighborhood throughout the day.

In the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Shuafat, protesters throw rocks at the Jerusalem Light Rail, causing damage but no injuries.
