Large police forces in the Jerusalem district are currently operating (Sunday) in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood, and so far eight rioters have been arrested for clashes between Jews and Arabs.
Among the detainees were two men who allegedly sprayed passers-by with pepper spray, and others who were arrested after allegedly throwing stones and bottles.
As mentioned, the clashes broke out against the background of the suspicion of setting fire to a Jewish family home in a neighborhood in East Jerusalem.
Later tonight, a demonstration is expected to take place near Tal Yeshubiev's house in the neighborhood, which was set on fire last Saturday by rioters from the Arab sector.
Knesset members from the "Religious Zionism" list announced that they would participate in the demonstration.

Over the past six months, Tal's vehicles have been set on fire nine times.
Last Saturday it came to life-threatening danger, when Arab rioters threw Molotov cocktails at Tal's house, miraculously his family was not present at the house and no injuries were reported.
During the night after the arson, riots broke out in the neighborhood, during which a Jew was run over by an Arab rioter, whose detention was extended by three days.
In addition, during the night, a Jew was lightly stabbed in the head, and the windshields of Jews who came to protect the house and show a Jewish presence on the site were smashed.
