Tensions between Arabs and Jews in Israel reach negative highs in two acts of Lynching in Acre and Bat Yam. In Acre, a Jewish man was beaten and seriously injured. In Bat Yam an Arab man was beaten and seriously injured.
In Lod, the riots continue despite the curfew coming into effect, riots began in Bat Yam with members of "La Familia", and also in Tiberias, Haifa and Acre it was not quiet: a 30-year-old Jewish citizen was fatally injured in a lynching attempt in Acre when he was attacked with sticks and stones. MDA staff evacuated him to the Galilee Medical Center in Nahariya.

At the same time, dozens of protesters threw stones at police. In Bat Yam, a 30-year-old Arab driver was taken out of his vehicle by rioters who smashed the windows of his vehicle near the promenade, and was beaten in an attempt to lynch, among other things with batons. He was taken to Ichilov Hospital in Tel Aviv in critical condition. No police presence was seen at the scene during the riots.
Police said they stopped a "handful of people" in Bat Yam who intended to reach Jaffa and confront the locals, some with assault weapons, including a knife, hammer, iron chain and pepper spray. The documentation shows many dozens reading "Death to the Arabs" on the promenade in Bat Yam and smashing glass of Arab-owned businesses as a "Victory" ice cream branch. Four were arrested.
A rally of the Jewish public was held in Tiberias, and an Arab who stumbled upon it was lightly wounded by a stone. A policeman who came to help him was also lightly injured. Four suspects were arrested. In Wadi Nisnas in Haifa, the police are scattering stun grenades from Arab crowds who have gathered in order to deal with far-right people who have threatened WhatsApp groups with causing damage to businesses in the area. The Arabs in Wadi Nissanans called the police "shameful" and "go to Kiryat Eliezer," where right-wingers gathered.
In another hotspot, in the German colony in Haifa, a driver of a vehicle attacked by the crowd ran over a pedestrian and moderately injured him when he escaped. The wounded man, a 27-year-old resident of the city, was evacuated by MDA staff to Rambam Hospital in the city. The offending driver, about 20 years old, was arrested and taken for questioning.
On Hagiborim Street in Haifa, a Molotov cocktail was thrown at a police car. The car burned completely, there were no casualties. Police have launched searches to locate suspects in the act.
In Lod - the focus of riots in recent days - the curfew did take effect at 20:00, but Jews rioted at the Lod court junction and a car was set on fire. 14 wounded from the riots in the city arrived at Assaf Harofeh Hospital, one in moderate condition and the rest in mild condition. Due to disturbances near the railway in Lod, train traffic between Tel Aviv Haganah and Lod stations was temporarily suspended. The Israel Railways said that garbage cans were burning near the tracks. It was also reported that the train complexes and shuttles to Tel Aviv are secure.
In the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in East Jerusalem, clashes between Arabs and Jews began this evening. Police use stun grenades to disperse the rioters. The coastal road was closed in the Zichron Yaacov area due to riots near Jisr a-Zarqa. Arab rioters threw stones at cars on the old coastal road from Fordis. Cops are on the scene directing traffic.

Dozens attacked an Arab driver, injuring him and causing heavy damage to his vehicle. The protesters also set fire to tires at the scene. The police fired stun grenades at the protesters to keep them away. Six were arrested.
Tonight, riots also occurred during demonstrations in Be'er Sheva. Hundreds of Jewish demonstrators chanted "Death to the Arabs" in protest of the riots on the roads of the Negev by the Bedouin. The demonstrators called for the killing of Arabs and even threw stones at vehicles that suspected Arabs were traveling in them. The demonstrators blocked the main intersection in the city between Reger Boulevard and Tuviahu. Large police forces of YSM and cavalry were brought in to try to disperse the demonstration. Police arrested several suspects in the riot.
The focus tonight was in Bat Yam.
