After several days of clashes in the capital, warming is spreading to Judea and Samaria and the Gaza Strip.
A red alert was sounded tonight (Friday) at Kibbutz Kissufim in the Gaza Strip, and Palestinian sources report rockets being fired from the Khan Yunis area.
At the same time, riots broke out in several centers in Jerusalem and the territories of Judea and Samaria, in which an Israeli security guard was lightly wounded and a number of Palestinians were also injured by security forces.
The security guard, a 22-year-old young man, was lightly wounded in the head during a riot in the city of David.
At the same time, Palestinians began throwing stones and Molotov cocktails at security forces near Rachel's tomb near Bethlehem.
Earlier today, terrorist organizations issued statements threatening to attack Israel in the wake of recent events in Jerusalem.
Terrorist organizations have accused Israel of harming the Al-Aqsa Mosque.
As you may recall, in recent days, mass riots have developed in Jerusalem following the closure of the Nablus Gate during the month of Ramadan.
At the same time, in a number of cases, Jewish Arabs attacked Jerusalem, and yesterday a demonstration by the Lehavah organization, "To Restore Jewish Dignity," called for "death to the Arabs." Police dispersed the two demonstrations, Jewish and Arab, using means.
Among the violent incidents yesterday, a Jewish driver who came to pray at the Western Wall was attacked by several Arabs in the east of the city and he was rescued from the scene with minor injuries.
This morning, a video was released documenting the attack, and the photographer reads: "Break the settler, break."
The police said that an initial investigation revealed that the incident took place near Rockefeller in East Jerusalem.
Arabs threw stones at Jardi's vehicle, which tried to flee the scene on foot.
Then some young people started attacking him and eventually he turned to medical care.
Minister of Internal Security Amir Ohana addressed the events in the afternoon and announced the strengthening of forces in Jerusalem.
