8 October 2000

The day coincided with the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement), which gave a pretext to some Jewish young men in Tiberias and other areas to attack groups of Arabs.  Dozens of Jewish men gathered near Natzeret Illit and Nazareth, which drove dozens of young men from Nazareth to launch a counter-demonstration. The demonstration met with a violent response from the police, which resulted in two deaths and dozens of injuries.
