Erdan: Some arson arrests, we will find those responsible
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePublic Security Minister Gilad Erdan tells reporters in Haifa that Israel will track down and prosecute anyone who set fires deliberately, or encouraged others to so so.
“A small number of people have been arrested,” Erdan says, calling the wave of intentionally started fires “a new phenomenon.”
“Every single fire will be examined to see whether it was arson, and we bring the full force of the law against those behind it,” Erdan says, adding that the police are also looking for social media who support and encourage the acts of arson.
