Far-right Israelis wound two Palestinian children after throwing firebombs at their home

Far-right Israelis attacked a Palestinian home in the Ajami neighbourhood in Jaffa with firebombs, wounding two children on Friday evening -the fifth night of violence in restive Palestinian towns in Israel.

The children, a 10-year-old girl who suffered a head injury and a 12-year-old boy who sustained burns on his upper body, were taken to the Sheba Hospital and were in moderate condition, according to Haaretz. 

Meanwhile, in Lod, a flashpoint of confrontations between Jewish ultra-nationalists and Palestinian citizens of Israel, police shot and wounded a 15-year-old Palestinian near a mosque, claiming he had tried to target them with a firebomb. 

Palestinian citizens of Israel continue to protest Israeli escalation, including the ongoing Gaza onslaught, the attacks on al-Aqsa Mosque, and the threat of expulsion facing residents of Sheikh Jarrah neighbourhood in Jerusalem.
