Hundreds of Arabs riot across Jerusalem after Palestinian teen found murdered

...Mohammad Abu Kheider’s partially burned corpse was discovered by officers hours after residents of the nearby upscale Arab community of Beit Hanina notified police of witnessing a young man being forced into a black vehicle late Tuesday night.

The murder took place after scores of Israeli right-wing protesters embroiled much of downtown Jerusalem Tuesday, rioting and demanding revenge for the murders of yeshiva students Gil-Ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrah and Naftali Fraenkel, who were buried earlier that afternoon.

The protracted riot resulted in over 50 arrests, after hundreds of young extremists marched for several kilometers throughout the downtown area, including to the Old City, while chanting anti-Arab slogans and attacking several Palestinians in their path.

While Arab leaders are condemning the homicide as revenge, Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said all possible angles are being investigated.

“We are investigating whether it was nationalistically motivated or criminal right now,” he said. “Police forensics teams are examining the body and the area of the forest where it was found to search for evidence of who may have done this.”
