4 Jewish extremists arrested as Lehava group purge continues

Israeli police have arrested four Jewish extremists who belonged to the Lehava group. They are opposed to Jews and Arabs mixing together and they have looked to stir up racial tensions, according to AP. Last week 10 Lehava members, including its leader, were arrested by police on the suspicion of promoting violence. The group has sought to break up Arab-Jewish couples and has looked to stop Arabs and Jews working together. Last week, three Lehava members were charged with setting a bilingual Hebrew-Arabic school in Jerusalem, which happened in November.
