Two young Jewish men, ages 19 and 25, were arrested on Thursday for attacking two Arab workers in Kiryat Ata.  The two allegedly hit the workers, damaged their vehicle, and insulted the Muslim prophet Mohammed.  The workers ran and hid in a nearby apartment.  They suffered only light injuries.

Police are defining the incident as a nationalist attack.  The two suspects are “uncooperative,” police said, and have threatened officers.
