Two civilians and a policeman were reported to have been shot by Arab assailants in Lod and Ramle. Arab rioters also torched a synagogue, the fifth in the city to be set alight in the recent violence, according to Channel 12 news. A pro-peace protest against the violence was held in Jerusalem and a similar rally took place outside the city, near the town of Abu Ghosh. Five people were arrested in Jerusalem on suspicion of attacking a Jewish man near the Damascus Gate to the Old City, police said. “We arrested Jewish people, but many fewer, because the majority of disturbances were conducted by Israeli Arabs,” Rosenfeld said.
