Police detain 3 over Lag B’omer flag burning
Police say they have detained three ultra-Orthodox youths, including an 11-year-old boy, for burning an Israeli flag in a Lag B’omer bonfire in Jerusalem earlier in the week.
The other two suspects are 21 and 15, police say, noting that the 21-year-old man was arrested, while the two minors were detained for questioning.
Police say they are continuing the investigation, which was launched following an incident of an effigy of a soldier being burnt.
