(Times of Israel) Lazar Berman and Joshua Davidovich - Jerusalem police arrested two more minors from east Jerusalem on Wednesday suspected of being involved in a rock-throwing attack last Thursday that injured an Israeli infant. Five minors from the neighborhood of Sur Baher were arrested Monday. According to police spokesman Yigal Elmaliach, they admitted to carrying out the premeditated attack because of their "hatred of Jews." Shirin Ben Zion, the mother of two-year-old Avigail who sustained a head wound, emphasized that the rock thrown at the car was about the size of her daughter's head. According to the Israel Security Agency, November saw a 65% rise in terror attacks in Jerusalem compared to the previous month. There were 53 attacks in November, of which 47 involved firebombs, compared with 32 attacks in October.
