PA police: 3 suspects detained over Christmas tree arson attack at Jenin church
Palestinian Authority police say officers arrested three suspects in the arson attack that targeted a Christmas tree and nativity scene in Jenin’s Holy Redeemer Church early Monday.
Jenin police and PA intelligence succeeded in catching the suspects less than 48 hours after the attack, and also seized equipment allegedly used in the attack, police say.
“Any attempt to harm a place of worship or disturb the peace will be persecuted to the full extent of the law,” the statement says. “The long arm of justice will reach whoever tries to threaten the unity of Palestinian society.”
