Arabs in Jerusalem on Saturday night threw rocks and firebombs at Israeli police in Arab neighborhoods outside the old city of Jerusalem. No injuries were reported among police. Arabs later set fire to trash bins and began rioting outside the old city. Police also arrested an Arab found to be transporting a large number of rocks, which he intended to distribute to fellow rioters to throw at police.

Earlier Saturday, Arabs set fire to a large factory in the Jordan Valley area that contained toxic substances. Large numbers of firefighters converged on the scene and managed to keep the fire under control. No injuries were reported.
