Palestinian rioters once again took to the streets of Jerusalem's Shimon HaTzadik neighborhood (also known as Sheikh Jarrah) on Tuesday.

Arab residents of the area accosted two members of the right-wing Religious Zionist Party – Bezalel Smotrich and Orit Strook – who came to visit the neighborhood.

Footage shows one Arab man scream at Smotrich, "Get out of here, son of a b****. You are garbage, there is nothing for you to do here. You cockroach, get out of here."

Eventually, two police officers, who were nearby, intervened and dispersed the growing crowd.

In May, Palestinians used contested homes in Sheikh Jarrah as the pretext to launch hostilities against Israel. This led to 11 days of war between Hamas and Israel, as well as to a series of violent clashes between Arab Israelis and the police.
