Arab protesters rioted Sunday in East Jerusalem and a number of neighborhoods in the capital after a tense day which saw security forces arrested six men for the murder of the Palestinian teen Mohammed Abu Khdeir. Some 15 silent protests took place in Arab communites across Israel without incident.
A number of right-wing Jews demanding revenge for the death of the three Israeli teens also rioted in the capital.
In the Shuafat neighborhood, from which Abu Khdeir originated and was scene to the kidnapping itself, over 100 Arab youths, some who were wearing masks, pelted police forces with stones. Similar scenes were reported from the Abu Tur neighborhood. Police forces were present at both areas.
