Army says Molotov cocktails started fire in settlement, damaging three homes
Police and firefighters extinguish a fire in Karmei Tzur, north of Hebron, which the army says was caused by a number of Molotov cocktails that were thrown at the settlement’s security fence.
The fire spread toward the first line of homes in the hilltop community and caused significant damage to at least three of them.
Emergency crews managed to evacuate residents from the area and no one was injured.
In a statement responding to the arson attack, the residents of the settlement call on Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman and IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Gadi Eisenkot to act against what they say is a recurring phenomenon.
