Police say four Palestinians from East Jerusalem will be charged over the firebombing of a Jewish home in Sheikh Jarrah last month.
The suspects were arrested in days following the attack on Tal Yushuvayev’s home, which sparked clashes in the flashpoint neighborhood after far-right MK Itamar Ben Gvir opened a makeshift office at the scene.
No injuries were reported in the fire. However, the house was badly damaged and police said an officer was lightly hurt from smoke inhalation after entering the home.
Police accuse some of the suspects of also participating in riots.
The suspects’ remand is extended until tomorrow, when an official indictment is expected to be filed.
