Israeli law enforcement officials have arrested more than 750 people this week as the nation grapples with violent racially motivated riots from Arab mobs, which have sparked counter reactions, while also combatting terrorist attacks from Palestinian terrorist groups.

“So far, more than 750 rioters have been arrested since the beginning of the violence, and more than 400 have had their remand extended,” The Jerusalem Post reported. “Defense Minister Benny Gantz said on Thursday evening that the declaration of the civil emergency in Lod will be extended another 48 hours, making it possible to allocate rescue forces under police command, allot further access to required equipment and the restriction of movement on residents of the city.”
