As the news was being aired of the fatal shooting attack in Tel Aviv which claimed four lives, the response throughout PA (Palestinian Authority) areas was the same, merriment, song and dance. Residents took to the streets and while some distributed sweets, others felt the most appropriate thing to do is to attack Jewish vehicles.

As police were operating at the scene of the Sarona Market, there was a sharp increase in rock-throwing attacks against Jewish vehicles. Attacks involved stones and firebombs. Attacks were recorded in many areas including the Hussan Bypass Road, Hizme, the entire Hebron/Kiryat Arba district, and even the Shar Shechem entrance to Jerusalem’s Old City.

B’chasdei Hashem there were no serious injuries reported.
