Police arrest 3 suspects for attacking pregnant Arab woman in Jaffa over the weekend

Police arrested three suspects on Monday evening in connection with the attack on Hanan Abu Shehadeh, a pregnant Arab woman who was assaulted in Jaffa over the weekend. The incident, which involved pepper-spraying and racist abuse, has heightened tensions in the mixed Jewish-Arab city. Residents responded with a protest march, accusing authorities of complicity and double standards after police arrested demonstrators but not the alleged attackers. Community leaders and activists have blamed local religious groups for contributing to the hostile atmosphere. In protest, Arab residents held a citywide strike, and further demonstrations are planned.
