Israeli police announced the arrest of three minors from the settlement of Beitar Illit, suspected of involvement in riots and an assault on an elderly Palestinian man near the Damascus Gate in Jerusalem. The incident reportedly occurred Monday night into Tuesday, when a group of young Jewish individuals attacked the elderly Palestinian. Authorities stated the three arrested suspects allegedly filmed the event and shared the video on social media. They were taken to the Shalem police station in East Jerusalem for questioning, where they are suspected of participating in both the riots and the direct assault. Police described the incident as a "violent riot." Last week, police reported detaining 11 individuals in the Damascus Gate area related to the incident, but at that time stated none were involved in the filmed attack on the elderly Palestinian. The investigation is ongoing as police work to determine the circumstances and the extent of each suspect's involvement.
