Riots began, on Sunday, in the West Bank, as residents there came out to protest Israel's defending itself against Gazan terrorist attacks.
Israeli soldiers and police, who were attacked by mobs throwing rocks and other objects, responded with tear gas.
The riots have continued on through Monday as the people have begun turning on their own government for trying to keep them from protesting.
Unlike Hamas in Gaza, the group that runs the West Bank, Fatah, does their best to maintain peace with Israel.
Because they aren't busy throwing rockets at Israel, they have a much better economy and quality of life than the Gaza Strip does.
Violence hasn't been contained to Israel's borders.
Also, on Sunday, a pro Israel rally of more than one thousand people, in Los Angeles, California, was attacked by about two hundred and fifty Palestinian supporters.
LA Police, Sheriff Deputies, and California Highway Patrol quickly moved in to stop the violence, but were not fast enough to keep injuries from occurring.
The police presence was maintained until both groups had withdrawn.
