Jewish-owned homes in the capital came under fire overnight, from local Arab youths shooting fireworks, a Jerusalem city councilman reported.
Aryeh King, a member of the Jerusalem city council, published video filmed overnight in the Maaleh HaZeitim neighborhood in eastern Jerusalem, showing Jewish homes being fired at by Arabs shooting fireworks.
“Just minutes ago, Muslim terrorists opened fire with multi-barreled firework [shooters], firing for three minutes straight at Jewish homes on the Mount of Olives,” wrote King in a Facebook post.
“I call on Justice Minister Amir Ohana and Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan to push legislation which will permit those being attacked by fireworks straight at their bodies or their homes for more than 10 seconds (which shows that it is intentional) to open fire against those committing the terror attack, shooting to kill.”
