In recent weeks, investigators of the Jerusalem District Police Central Unit arrested 14 Jewish boys from Jerusalem, aged 13-16, who study in different yeshivas across the country, on suspicion of operating as an organized group that attacked Arabs, vandalized vehicles, spray-painted hate graffiti and threw stones at vehicles with Arab drivers. Their arrest was cleared for publication on Sunday.
According to the police, the teens testified that in recent months, they acted out of "hatred for Arabs and revenge for attacks committed against Jews," such as the stabbing of a Jewish man in the vicinity of Damascus Gate a few weeks ago.
Police claim that the boys encouraged each other to attack Arabs, and that the events took place during the High Holidays break, when the boys returned home from their yeshivas, as well as during the summer vacation. The remand of all the suspects was extended, apart from four who were released on special conditions due to their young age of 13.
