Authorities say Shaar Hagai fire wasn’t arson, but Modiin was

Authorities believe that the fire at Shaar Hagai, close to the central Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway was not caused by arson, but rather spread from a fire in the nearby community of Nataf that began on Tuesday.

However, officials have come to the conclusion that the blaze in Modiin that started earlier today likely was the result of arson, Channel 2 reports.
