Several Arab passersby were chased and severely beaten -and so was one young Israeli who was mistaken for an Arab. Shops and cafes were damaged, and one howling gang broke into an Arab-owned liquor store and shattered practically every bottle on its well-stocked shelves. At the height of the rioting, an Israeli girl shouted: "This is what the Arabs deserve. Five bombs in one night is too much."
