Gaza rockets spark civil unrest among Israel's Jews, Arabs
The last six days have also borne witness to something we never saw before in Israel, Arab rioters laying waste to the mixed Jewish-Arab city of Lod and conducting violent rampages in Haifa and Acre.
In the wake of this violence, Jewish mobs have attacked Arab citizens, including severely beating an Arab man in Bat Yam, rock throwing at Arab residents and cars in Lod, and in one incident an Arab citizen was stabbed close to the Mahaneh Yehuda market in Jerusalem.

Recent updates from last night
The Israeli Air Force bombed Hamas's underground tunnel network late Thursday night in the northern Gaza Strip in what military officials said was one of the most aggressive aerial assaults' in recent years.
On Friday morning, the IAF intercepted another drone that crossed from the Gaza Strip into Israel, after the Iron Dome missile defense system had downed one the day before.
Rockets continued to pound Israel as the Israel military pummeled Gaza in one of the largest bombardments of Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad since the fighting started.
