Police have arrested a third suspect over an attack on a pregnant Arab woman in Jaffa over the weekend.
Earlier this evening, police arrested two other suspects in the incident.
They are suspected of pepper-spraying 30-year-old Hanan Abu Shehadeh, as she drove with her two children Saturday.
Her assailants also shouted racist epithets at her and spat on her young daughter while the car windows were open, she recounted in interviews to Hebrew and Arabic outlets.
The Tel Aviv Magistrate’s Court has issued a gag order on details of the investigation and information that could identify the suspects.
