According to witnesses, the clashes resulted also in the burning of 7 houses, the smashing of a church façade, a mosque minaret, five cars, cafès, shops, and a pharmacy. They spread also to the neighboring village of Rīdā, following the rumor of wounding and deaths of Muslims in the first village, to which they reacted by throwing rocks and bricks at the village’s church façade, destroying a big portion of it.

In Rīdā tens of Evangelical churches were attacked and houses were vandalized with stones and bricks (Sa’īd Nāfi’ and Tirīzā Kamāl, al-Masrī al-Yawm, Aug. 5). Read original text in Arabic.
