Elderly man torches his neighbor’s sukkah

An elderly man is arrested on suspicion that he set fire to his neighbor’s sukkah in the city of Bat Yam, south of Tel Aviv.

Police says the man, who is in his 80s, torched the structure because he didn’t like the location his neighbor chose for it.

Many Jews erect a sukkah, a temporary hut or booth, during the Sukkot festival.

There was no initial word on the condition of the sukkah.
