A different form of terrorism.
Via Times of Israel:
Israeli security forces arrested 10 Palestinians in recent days on suspicion of arson, as firefighters battle a wave of fires across the country.
The detainees include three people arrested overnight Friday-Saturday in a car near the West Bank city of Ramallah, the Ynet news website reported. Full and empty canisters of gasoline, rags, gloves and lighters were found in the vehicle.
Another suspect detained Saturday was identified by an official from the Israel Parks and Nature Authority as the person who set fire to brush near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
Police Commissioner Roni Alsheich said Friday night that investigators know who set a fire massive blaze in the woods on the Jerusalem hills near Nataf, which also spread to other communities. He said the authorities “were prepared to thwart” those involved through “deterrence and catching suspects, through observers and patrols in the sky and on land.”
“These are very simple terror attacks,” he told Army Radio. “Generally the attackers themselves know about it only a few minutes beforehand, so we can’t make preventative arrests.”
