Police detained three youths in their 20s for hurling stones at a police post in the Mount Carmel region and lightly injuring four officers during riots over the laying of a gas pipeline in northern Israel.
Police said the stones also hit a squad car belonging to forces operating in the area, and that further arrests can be expected. A police source added, "These are very serious events, and we will take a firm hand and employ zero tolerance in dealing with the rioters." (Sharon Roffe-Ofir)
