Police calmly watched their cars being set on fire in Jerusalem

Two police cars were thrown by Molotov cocktails in East Jerusalem. This incident became known after the video that captured the incident hit the Web.

Filming recorded how a crowd of angry Arabs smash police cars in the area of ​​Ras al-Amud and throw them with Molotov cocktails. In this case, the police themselves do not take any action, only distantly watching what is happening. They did not even make warning shots, although they were armed.

One of the residents of the nearby quarter, Maale ha-Zitim, which is part of the Anti Terror group that carried out this survey, complained that this situation had become “routine”, and in his opinion, the absence of a tough reaction to the unrest only encourages Arabs.

According to him, the police say that they "show restraint in connection with the holiday of Ramadan," because the situation in East Jerusalem is "extremely tense." In addition, the police are afraid to open fire and use special equipment without having a corresponding order.

However, the police officially noted that in recent days 400 was detained by stone throwers and participants in the riots.
