Several buses stoned in Jaffa

Two buses travelling through Jaffa were pelted with stones on Tuesday evening. There were no reports of injuries and no suspects were arrested, but one of the vehicles' windowpane was smashed. The incident took place on two of Jaffa's main streets - Jerusalem Avenue and Yefet Street.

The circumstances of the incident were unclear, but the police were looking into a possible link to the "day of rage" events in Jerusalem. [ ynet  http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3863821,00.html]
