Israeli police are planning for the arrest of "hundreds" of East Jerusalem residents suspected of taking part in rioting including the throwing of rocks and firebombs, announced acting Police Chief Bentzi Sau late Tuesday morning.
Sau also revealed that six teams of special investigators would soon be sent to Jerusalem to work with the Shin Bet and other security officials in continuing efforts to bring an end to the current wave of violence - efforts which Sau said are working.
Sau is the acting police chief, filling the position vacated by Yohanan Danino until next month when newly appointed Roni Alsheich will take up the position.
