He explained B”H their injuries were light but there was significant damage to a number of vehicles.
Golan added that Rabbi Dov Lior’s home in the Beit Orot area of Yerushalayim is targeted by Arabs almost daily, often with firebombs. In Maale Zeitim, there has been multiple firebombs against Jewish homes just this week.

He then moves to Ramle and the hesder yeshiva. Yakir, a resident of the yeshiva and combat hesder student explains they are attacked with bottles, rocks and other objects literally on a daily basis.
