The incident occurred around the same time an IDF soldier was attacked by Arab youths in Yafo.
Speaking with Hebrew media after the attack, the unidentified soldier claimed he was momentarily blinded with pepper spray before receiving a blow to the head.
Despite sustaining a head injury in the attack, the soldier is said to be in light condition.
This latest spate of attacks comes amid an outbreak of violent riots in mixed Arab-Jewish communities across the country, with the most intense confrontations located in the Tel Aviv suburb of Lod.
Earlier on Thursday, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz ordered 10 Border Police companies to deploy across the country in an effort to curb the escalating violence.

The rockets came in response to the Israeli police raiding Al-Aqsa Mosque and efforts to evict the inhabitants of the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood in Jerusalem and give their houses to Israeli settlers.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, the Israeli military operation has so far killed 83 Palestinians including 17 children, seven women and an elderly person and wounded 388 others, including 115 children and 50 women.
On May 13, the Israeli army announced that it had struck 600 Hamas and Islamic Jihad targets in the Gaza Strip since the onset of the military operation up to that morning.
Israeli airstrikes destroyed three residential and office towers and dozens of houses and security and police offices in the Gaza Strip. Meanwhile, Palestinian factions continued to launch hundreds of rockets toward Israel.

Jerusalem Post. A change government, with the makeup planned cannot deal with the problems in mixed cities. These are things that cannot be done when relying on Mansour Abbas.
