In the coastal city of Acre, Arabs critically injured a Jewish man with rocks and iron bars, and then the crowd attacked the ambulance taking him to the hospital, the AP reported.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Thursday said his government would begin using administrative detention - imprisonment without formal charge - against those involved in civil unrest. Human rights groups have criticised Israelâs broad use of it against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.
The triggers for this unrest have been the armed conflict between the Israeli military and Hamas militants in Gaza and the preceding weeks of Palestinian protests in Jerusalem.
