Rocks thrown at light rail for ninth time in two days
Rocks have been thrown at the Jerusalem light rail for a third time Wednesday, news site 0404 reports.
There is no official word on injuries or damage after the incident in the Shuafat area of East Jerusalem.
The incident is the latest in an uptick of rock throwing attacks against the Jerusalem conveyance, with 0404 reporting nine incidents in the last two days alone.
Attacks on the line as it passes through Shuafat have been a constant problem since the light rail was opened in 2011, though officials touted hopes it would serve to connect the Arab East and Jewish West districts of the capital.
