Three Jewish Israelis were ambushed by dozens of Arab rioters in the Silwan neighborhood of Jerusalem on Thursday afternoon around 16:00, as they parked their car. The attackers, positioned on rooftops and at street level, threw a hail of stones and struck the victims with clubs and boards, according to a single source report. One man was wounded in the head and evacuated to Shaare Zedek Medical Center. Police arrived after the assailants had already dispersed; the victims filed a police complaint. The attack follows a series of stone-throwing incidents targeting Jewish Israelis in Judea and Samaria and eastern Jerusalem in recent weeks. As The Zioneer reported at 20:20 Thursday, a separate Silwan ambush left another Jewish man wounded earlier that evening. No arrests have been reported. The incident remains under investigation.
