LIVE UPDATES: Resumed rioting in north, rockets in south
Masked protestors block the Kalandwa-Taibeh road with burning tires; several roads closed by police.By Haaretz | Jul. 5, 2014
The rioting that gripped several Israeli Arab towns on Friday night renewed toward evening on Saturday, though with less intensity.
Police were present outside the town of Kalanswa, where dozens of protestors, many of them with their faces masked, set fire to tires on the main road into the town.
The road between Kalanswa and Taibeh was closed in both directions. Other roads in the north of the country were closed intermittently during the afternoon, as police moved to counter renewed demonstrations.
In the south of the country, rockets fired from the Gaza Strip set fields alight in the Eshkol Regional Council region in southern Israel. Firefighters were at the scene.
