Two weeks after violence erupted in Lod, the city’s outdoor market is open (with fewer shoppers), the streets are busy and there are fewer police officers on patrol but this doesn’t mean that life has totally returned to normal. If there’s one thing that unites the Arabs and Jews in this city, it’s the fear that the violence will recur.
The burned-out cars in Ramat Eshkol and outside Al-Omari Mosque were moved to a sandy area near the entrance to the city, where scrap dealers are having a go at them (though there’s little metal left to salvage). The security tower by the shuk is one of the few remaining outward signs of what happened here. The damaged synagogues have been fixed up for the most part; one was also renovated.
