In 2014 Lehava established a booth to distribute flyers , harass Arabs in the area and shout anti-Arab slogans in Zion Square hours after the burial of three Israeli teens who were murdered in the West Bank . Almost simultaneously , a leftist group formed to counter their activities in the square . Both groups organized just hours before Mohammed Abu Khdeir was kidnapped and murdered . The confrontations between the two groups continued for some months , regularly every Thursday and Saturday night . A year later , in May 2015 , an Ir Amim researcher Aviv Tatarsky , observing a similar incident of a Palestinian fleeing from Zion Square with a group of Jewish youths in pursuit , stated that the practice has been commonplace for years and that in the preceding year , such violent attacks in central Jerusalem , reminiscent of what happened to Jamal Julani took place almost every night from July through to December .
