A 13-year-old Arab male was taken into custody on Wednesday afternoon 17 Tishrei after he hurled fireworks near the Kosel. A 4-year-old girl was very lightly injured.

Police used surveillance videos to ascertain exactly what occurred and the video documentation clearly showed the suspect trying to attack visitors to the area.

The Old City experienced another day of tension as Arabs were unruly and at times violent as they continued to harass mispallalim as they made their way to and from the Kosel on chol hamoed Sukkos.
