Violent clashes between Palestinian Israeli citizens and Israeli Jews have resumed in several Israeli cities The Israeli military continued with airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip and Hamas fired rockets at Israel on Tuesday.
The crisis, which began with Israel’s efforts to displace Palestinian families in East Israel, has sparked tensions within the community within Israel, and some Palestinian citizens have staged protests in recent days.
In Bat Yam, about 13 kilometers south of Tel Aviv, right-wing Israeli Jews searched the shops and beat up a man believed to be Palestinian, Israeli media reported.
Films of the attack aired live on television showed a man forcibly pulling out of his car and beating dozens of people. Al Jazeera’s Harry Fawcett reported that “it looked like an attempt at public lynching.”
