A yeshiva student was beaten up by Arabs in the Old City on Monday night. He lost consciousness briefly, and was found by a friend lying on the ground. He was treated at Hadassah Hospital in Ein Karem, and was released the next morning. Aided by surveillance cameras on the scene, police later arrested three Arab youths in connection with the attack.
Late Tuesday night, an Arab man was stabbed outside the Old City, and is listed in serious condition. He reported that four Jews asked him the time and then stabbed him. The incident occurred between the Mandlebaum Gate and Meah She’arim areas.
Noam Arnon: “The extremism of the judicial system and the government leads to counter-extremism.” 
Police surmise that the incidents may be connected with the violence in Hevron between Jews and Arabs, in which 18 Jews were injured. Fifteen youths were treated on the scene, while three others were taken to a Jerusalem hospital. One of them, Elyasaf (ben Nurit) Asban, is still listed in serious/stable condition, after being hit in the head with a concrete block thrown by Arab rioters. He is being kept unconscious and on a respirator, and further checks were to be carried out this morning.
In light of reports that Jewish youth had initiated some of the rock-throwing attacks against Arabs, Noam Arnon, head of the Jewish Community in Hevron, said, “The extremism of the judicial system and the government leads to counter-extremism.”
Arnon said he does not “agree with everything that is being done” by the Jewish youths, "but it could be that the government is trying to provoke the youths into such acts.”
Others in the Hevron Jewish Community said that the wounding of the boy is “the responsibility of the police, which act against the Jews but are totally helpless against the Arab brutality.”
Yesha Council head Danny Dayan strongly condemned the Jewish violence, but said that the rulings by the Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Dorit Beinisch, “are such that cause the public to lose all hope in seeing government justice.”
