The suspects were taken for further investigation.

The detention of an Arab who attacked and pushed down a policeman on Friday afternoon on the Temple Mount was extended by the court until Tuesday after he was arrested over the weekend.

Another nine Muslims were arrested during the riots.

In related news, the police arrested an Arab suspect who threw a firebomb into an Arab home in Yafo (Jaffa) and severely injured a 12-year-old boy, an apparent mistake in the identification of his target as the attack was meant for Jews.

The suspect’s brother was arrested for the act last week.
