Hebrew graffiti reading “the war has just begun” and “you will pay the price” was found spray painted on a burned mosque in the Palestinian village of Jaba’, near Ramallah, on June 19.
Walla quoted sources close to the suspect as saying, “We are again witnessing a dramatic arrest that begins with great fanfare and will end with a whimper.”
Police arrested two men on suspicion of involvement in the acts three weeks previously but released them a week later.
