Police say they arrested two suspects overnight in connection with the arson of a structure in the Palestinian village of Khirbet Wadi al-Rahim near Susiya, south of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
Police say that following reports of the arson, officers were dispatched to the scene and began searching for suspects while collecting testimony and evidence.
Earlier, Palestinian media reported that a structure used for storing livestock was set on fire, along with a traditional outdoor oven nearby, and that the owner of the property suffered a hand injury while trying to extinguish the blaze. No damage to the livestock has been reported.
