The unrest over the past month initially erupted in Jerusalem over the police presence at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound and tensions in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood due to a pending eviction case filed by a Jewish company against Palestinian residents. Clashes between Israeli Jews and Arabs spread around the country, particularly in towns with both Jewish and Arab populations, escalating after the all-out military confrontation that erupted between Israel and Hamas. In the Arab-Jewish town of Lod, a Jewish man died of his injuries from an attack and a number of synagogues were torched. A mosque was also attacked. In the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat Yam a brutal attack on an Arab man was caught on camera and broadcast live on Channel 11.
