Far-right Israeli mob launched an assault on Palestinian residents of the city of Lod on Sunday night, leaving several people injured as tensions escalated. The group allegedly travelled from outside the city to provoke and attack residents, shouting racist slurs and throwing stones. Clashes ensued as Palestinians confronted the mob, with Khaled al-Zabarqa, head of the Popular Committee in Lod, stating this was the third such incident in the past month.
Police were accused of complicity, failing to prevent the attack despite being previously alerted by authorities. Police arrested 11 suspects, all released later, under restrictive conditions. Far-right figures associated with National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir had encouraged people to participate in a "sovereignty march" online.
Ben Gvir has been inciting against Palestinian citizens of Israel following their strong showing in recent elections.
