[Elder Of Ziyon - Israel News] Arabs stabbing Jews - in 1910

From Hebrew newspaper HaTzvi, September 22. 1910:

Two days ago a young man named Schweitzer went from Rishon Lezion to Jaffa and on the way two Arabs attacked him and wounded him with a knife causing severe injury. Happily, soldiers passed by them and they caught one of the attackers.

Also between Nes-Tsiyona and Rishon-Lezion three Arabs confronted a Jewish man, named Yakov Binshtok, and attacked him. The victim fought them as best he could and he hit them with his fists and a penknife that he found in his pocket. But one of the Arabs succeeded in stabbing the young Jew in his cheek. Meanwhile more Jews appeared at a distance, and the Arabs fled and escaped.

These cases of onslaught in the middle of the roads and in broad daylight are very concerning to the residents, who consider it a sign that there is no security in the country and that the situation is deteriorating.
