Arab bus drivers report 45 attacks this year as Umm al-Fahm driver is beaten

Abed Mahajna was hit in the face and racially abused after someone threw an object at his bus in Hadera.

Worker's organisation Koach La'Ovdim has logged 45 attacks this year on Superbus drivers in Jerusalem alone, including beatings, stoning, spitting and insults; other companies do not publish figures.

On 2 October at least six Arab drivers were attacked in Jerusalem within 24 hours, with only one minor detained.

Abed Mahajna of Umm al-Fahm said that on Wednesday evening in Hadera a man threw an object at his bus and then struck him in the face when he got out, knocking him down and abusing Arabs. He was treated for light injuries; it was the second attack on him in four years.
