Arab rioting in the center of Nablus Tuesday night resulted in the death of a 38-year-old Arab money-changer, apparently from shots fired by Israeli security forces.
Soldiers were called in to quell a demonstration in the town’s central square. Hundreds of demonstrators hurled rocks at them and one gasoline bomb that ignited but caused no injuries. The troops used tear gas and rubber bullets, but the crowd did not disperse until live ammunition was fired. The area was cordoned off.
A gasoline bomb was thrown at an Egged bus in Jerusalem Tuesday night, slightly damaging the vehicle. No one was hurt. An Arab policeman was fatally shot in Gaza, presumably by a terrorist.
