Israeli Arabs Arrested for Stone Attacks

Two Arab citizens of Israel have been arrested on suspicion they stoned cars on the Coastal Road on July 28. The men have confessed to the crime.

The men, 20-year-old Amin Shehada Mera’i and 21-year-old Hassan Amash, also told investigators  they were involved in rioting in Jassar a-Zarka, in July, in reaction to Israel’s Operation Protective Edge in Gaza.

Both men admitted to a long history of anti-Israel attacks, dating back to 2008, when they were just 14 and 15 years old.

The men were arraigned in Haifa District Court this morning.
