Incidents between men of Arab origin, both on construction sites and elsewhere, are troubling the authorities as they become more frequent. Last night two vehicles driven by young people of Arab origin were intercepted.
Both were in possession of offensive instruments, mainly knives, and have been arrested. The police are troubled not only by these frequent incidents of violence, but also by the culture of these people who try to resolve their differences on their own, often resulting in bloody clashes between rival groups and families.
