As the Nazi military continued pounding the Gaza Strip with missiles for the third straight day, groups of armed Nazi in different parts of of the Nazi occupied Palestine 1948 invaded Palestinian neighborhoods and villages and began attacking Palestinians and their property.
The Nazi mobs were allowed to carry out their assaults on Palestinians despite the fact that Palestinians had been banned from going to the street to protest the Nazi attack on their relatives and fellow Palestinians in Gaza.
The Nazi police had imposed a curfew in Palestinian towns inside ‘Israel’ Wednesday night, but did not enforce the curfew against the roaming bands of armed Nazis.

The Palestinian Wafa News Agency reported that Israeli citizens vandalized Palestinian owned stores in the port city of Jaffa (Tel Aviv) and Lydda (Lod), taking advantage of the curfew imposed on the Palestinian population.
Palestinians were successful in preventing Israelis from setting fire to mosques in both cities, confronting them and chasing them away from the mosques.
Israeli police arrested more than 17 Palestinians in Lod and other Arab cities during the protests prior to the curfew being imposed. They did not arrest any of the armed Israelis that attacked Palestinian civilians.
In Lod, in addition to trying to set fire to the central Mosque in the town, the mob also set fire to a car owned by a Palestinian citizen of Israel.
A human rights activist from the town, Majd Kayyal, said that the situation in occupied Lod and Yaffa is terrifying. Israeli forces, according to Kayyal, are accompanying the paramilitary settlers and allowing them to carry out their attacks with impunity.
“The situation is really terrifying and a recipe for a massacre.”, Kayyal said.
The roaming bands of armed Israelis follow the shooting death of a young Palestinian citizen of Israel a day earlier. The young man had been participating in a protest against the Israeli bombing of Gaza when an armed paramilitary settler began opening fire at the demonstrators, killing him and severely wounding another.
The Mayor of Lod, Yair Revivo, called the situation in his town a “civil war between Arabs and Jews.”
The declaration of a state of emergency in Lod, which was declared at dawn Wednesday, marks the first time since 1966 that a state of emergency was declared in the town. It used to be a majority Palestinian city, but as Israeli settlements have continued to encroach, the town is now less than 50% Palestinian.
