Terrorists continued to launch attacks against Israel throughout Tuesday night and into Wednesday morning, including rioting and setting synagogues on fire in the city of Lod, prompting the government to declare a state of emergency.

“Intense Arab rioting broke out in the central Israeli city of Lod late Tuesday, with three synagogues and numerous shops reportedly set on fire, and dozens of cars set alight,” The Times of Israel reported. “Some residents reported power was cut in their homes and petrol bombs were thrown through their windows, Channel 12 news said, and police acknowledged having to escort some residents from a community center to their homes as Arab mobs marauded in the streets.”
