It’s apparently pretty bad in the city of Lod, which is right outside Tel Aviv, where Palestinians are rioting and reportedly burning down synagogues while Jews are being evacuated from the city:
This is getting lost in the news about Israel and Gaza, but there are currently riots taking place in a number of mixed Jewish-Arab cities across Israel, most notably in Lod, just miles from Tel Aviv. Jewish residents are being evacuated by police as synagogues are set on fire.

Here’s video from this afternoon from a reporter that I’m not entirely sure is trustworthy. So ignore the text and just watch the videos:

This above could be Israelis or it could be arabs dressed as Israelis. Not sure. But it does demonstrate the angry right now being expressed.
