UPPER GALILEE, October 3, 2011 (WAFA) - About 300 Israeli Arabs clashed with Israeli police Monday in Tuba-Zangariya, a Bedouin-Arab village in the Upper Galilee, after a mosque in the village was set on fire in a suspected “price tag” attack, said Israeli security sources.
Residents of the village of Tuba-Zangariya began marching to the nearby Israeli town of Rosh Pina and burnt tires while hurling rocks at Israeli forces, who responded by firing tear gas and stun grenades at the protesters.
The mosque was set on fire Sunday night and its entire interior went up in flames, causing heavy damage to its contents and its holy books being burnt. Graffiti with the words “price tag” was found on the wall of the mosque.
Israeli police said they arrested several suspects involved in the mosque arson, but did not disclose any details.Palestine News & Info Agency - WAFA
