Four Jerusalem Arabs are in police custody, suspected of being responsible for Independence Day attacks against Jews celebrating the day. The attacks occurred in the Ben-Hinom Valley, adjacent to the Old City walls.

The attacks on Independence Day were unprovoked hate attacks which left the victims with moderate injuries. They were taken to Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital.

These attacks are among the recent sharp increase in anti-Semitic attacks in the capital and other cities around the country.
