Five people from Rama Village in Galilee were wounded on Friday in a fight between few Christian and Druze residents of the village. One of the youngsters was injured by a knife, where he was taken to Nahariya Hospital.

A discussion between a Christian and a Druze tuned into a fight where tens of people from both groups partcipated. Three policemen were also injured, non of them in a serious condition. A "Law" missile was also shot at the Catholic Church in the town. Only by miracle, nobody was injured.

Carmiel Police have arrested 5 people. In parallel, religious and community leaders have come to town to try to calm the two groups down. Since this is not the first time that fights based on an ethnic background take place in Rama, the Police have appointed a special police force to be in Rama on a regular basis, so that they can intervene in such incidents as soon as they happen.
