Slideshow: Pictures of the week The eight suspects, which include five minors, are accused of taking part in the terror-related attack on the eve of Holocaust Remembrance Day in the northern Jerusalem neighborhood of Pisgat Ze'ev, Jerusalem police spokesman Shmuel Ben-Ruby said.
One of the Arab victims was moderately wounded in the attack and needed to be hospitalized, while the second suffered light injuries after being beaten by the
suspects.
The motive for the attack was nationalistic, police said.
According to the police, the suspects were apprehended this week, and they all have either confessed to the acts or have been linked to the attacks.
The police investigation revealed that the eight suspects planned to carry out another attack against Arabs in the outlying city neighborhood on the eve of Remembrance Day in order "to "cleanse" the neighborhood of Arab teens for "pestering" Jewish girls in the area, the police said.
During a search of their homes, police uncovered e-mail correspondences in which the suspects called on Jewish residents to come to the neighborhood mall on the assigned holiday eves in order to "get revenge" on the Arabs and "expel" them from the neighborhood, police said.
The eight suspects were brought to a Jerusalem court on Tuesday for a remand hearing.
The three adults were remanded in custody for four
days.
The eight high school students, most of whom are
residents of Pisgat Ze'ev, were part of a large group of Jewish teens which were involved in the case, Jerusalem police investigator Eyal Goren said.
"We were surprised by the extent of planning of the group," Goren said.
More arrests are expected in the case, he added.
The predominantly Jewish neighborhood which straddles the West Bank and a couple Arab neighborhoods, is also home to a small number of Arab residents who moved there in order to be on the Israeli side of the security barrier going up on the outskirts of the city.
The Arabs assaulted by the teens were from a
neighboring Arab village, police said.
One-third of Jerusalem's 750,000 residents are Arabs.
