Car that was burnt by Molotov cocktail.

Arab terrorists hurled a firebomb (Molotov cocktail) at an Israeli vehicle on Saturday in the Shiloach (Silwan) neighborhood of Jerusalem.

Shiloach is next to the Old City, nestled along the eastern side of the rampart walls.

The vehicle, which was heavily damaged in the attack, belonged to a security guard in the area. An investigation has been launched, according to Israel Police.

If and when the perpetrator or perpetrators are caught, it is likely they will face a stiff prison sentence.

On Sunday, November 2, the government cabinet voted to add an amendment to the current penal code, allowing judges to imprison a convicted terrorist for up to 20 years for throwing or casting stones or other objects — such as a firebomb — at a motor vehicle.
