The protest came amid fears of a renewed escalation in the mixed Arab-Jewish city, after firebombs were thrown toward a Jewish home on Thursday night. There were no injuries from the incident, and only minor damage to the property.
One of Hassouna s family members, who refused to disclose his name due to fear of the police, said we want justice to be done. It can t be that murderers are released after 48 hours. Yair Revivo [the mayor] is pressuring the police and the world, as though this protest is a security risk. He is saying that people are going to riot in the streets and will damage property, so the intelligence officer took it very seriously.
