Several Palestinians were injured in Jerusalem Tuesday after they were attacked by Israeli students of a religious Jewish institute.
A senior official in the Israeli police prohibited Abu Tair’s family from holding a funeral for him, and arrested a number of them. Abu Tair was shot dead after he hit several cars by a bulldozer he was driving.
According to Radio Israel, more than 70 Palestinians living in eastern Jerusalem were arrested in the first half of 2008, and there is suspicion that they were related in anti-Israel activities and provided support to its enemies.
The radio quoted security sources as saying that as many as 45 Palestinian suspects were arrested in Jerusalem every year.
