Two residents of Shomron were arrested on Shabbos afternoon in the area of Gilad Farm.

A confrontation occurred between about 50 Jews and Arabs in the area, which escalated by rock throwing at one another. Security forces arrived on the scene and used riot-control adjuncts to restore order.

Two of the Jews were placed under arrest after they allegedly assaulted some of the security forces.
