According to incomplete statistics now available, from September 5 to November 15 there have been 59 assaults recorded on Jews in Jerusalem including murder, stabbing and robbery. The High Court has reduced to six months the sentence of an Arab originally sentenced to a year for keeping a revolver. The Court also substituted a $500 deposit for one year imprisonment of an Arab found with a bomb. These are the first riot cases submitted to the High Court.
