Violence against East Jerusalem Jews doubles
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMore than 360 violent assaults against Jews living in East Jerusalem, including the capital’s Old City, are recorded in July, nearly double the number of similar attacks that took place during the same period in 2013, according to figures published today.
Most incidents involve youths hurling stones and Molotov cocktails at Jewish civilians living in predominantly Palestinian neighborhoods, or rioters setting off firecrackers near Jewish institutions. In some cases, however, masked gunmen open fire at Jews residing in the eastern half of the city, the Haaretz daily reports. Last Monday, an IDF soldier was shot at close range by a gunman on a motorbike near the neighborhood of Wadi al-Joz.
