Arabs who harassed and threw stones at Jews in Reches Sela on Har Bracha over Shabbat got a free pass – while IDF troops began chasing down Jews who were defending themselves from the Arab attack, residents of the area told Arutz 7 Saturday night.

According to the residents, soldiers arrested a 13 year old boy and began beating him. They let him go after awhile, at the entrance gate to Har Bracha. "It seems strange that the IDF would defend Arab rioters while arresting Jews and forcing them out of their homes," residents told Arutz 7.
