JERUSALEM (JTA) – Four Arab teenagers from eastern Jerusalem were arrested for attacking a Jewish man at the Mount of Olives cemetery, where he had gone to visit his mother’s grave before his wedding.
The teens from the a-Tur neighborhood are accused of throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at the car in which the man was riding late last month after surrounding the vehicle, Ynet reported. The car was being driven by the man’s best friend and had other inhabitants.
One of the car’s windows was broken by the rocks and the prospective groom was hit in the head with a rock. He was treated at Shaare Zedek Medical Center and released. His wedding reportedly was held as scheduled.
