Police are looking for the suspects, who vandalized at least twelve Jewish owned cars in Jerusalem, according to a statement released by Israeli police.
Muslim violence against Jewish residents of the Jerusalem neighborhood of Abu Tor apparently broke out again, as residents of the neighborhood in southern Jerusalem awoke on Wednesday to find that the tires of 12 cars owned by Jews had been cut during the night.
The cars were parked on the street that separates the predominantly Jewish neighborhood of Abu Tor from the Muslims neighborhood.
Jerusalem Police have launched an investigation into the attack.
Police said that they were not yet convinced that the attack was motivated by nationalism. However, residents said that only vehicles belonging to Jews were attacked, while vehicles belonging to the Muslims, some of which were parked next to vandalized vehicles, were left untouched.
In addition, residents said that no damage was seen on vehicles belonging to United Nations personnel, which were also parked in the area.
