Hundreds of Arab residents in Jaffa held a protest march after a pregnant woman from their community was allegedly pepper-sprayed by Jews while driving in the Ajami neighborhood. The demonstration, captured in footage by Arab48, featured chants against security forces and accusations of government complicity in the attack. Former lawmaker Sami Abu Shehadeh addressed the crowd, claiming the incident was part of a broader pattern of violence targeting Arabs in Jaffa and the Palestinian nation. He placed responsibility on the police and government, criticizing their silence and lack of action. Police reported that the woman was attacked following an argument and is receiving medical care, with officers searching for suspects but no arrests made yet.
