LOD, Israel — Israeli security forces guard the streets of Lod, weeks after rioters torched patrol cars, synagogues and homes. Attackers who killed an Arab and a Jewish resident are still at large. And a mayor, whom some blame for setting the stage for some of the worst domestic unrest in Israeli history, remains in office. Israel and Hamas reached a truce two weeks ago to end 11 days of fighting in the Gaza Strip. But the roots of the upheavals that wracked Israel’s mixed Jewish-Arab cities during the war have not been addressed, leaving those communities on edge. MIXED CITY: The minaret of the Al-Omari mosque and St George FANNING THE FLAMES: Jews walk through the street with “It’s hard for me to say what Greek Orthodox church are reflected in the broken windshield of guns in the mixed Arab-Jewish town of Lod in the wake of recent tomorrow will be like.

An urban landscape of low-rise housing projects from the 1950s and ’60s, the working-class city also is a bastion of hard-line Jewish politics. In the March 23 election, staunchly nationalist parties, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party, won more than 60 percent of the vote in Lod.
