Police investigating fuel source in suspected settler arson
Law enforcement is probing whether the gasoline used by settler extremists in a suspected arson attack against Palestinians earlier this week was the same fuel that the army supplied them to run a generator at their quarantine outpost, a police official tells The Times of Israel, confirming a Kan public broadcaster report.
On Tuesday, a group of far-right youths from the quarantine facility near Metzoke Dragot north of the Dead Sea allegedly attacked a group of three Palestinians nearby, throwing rocks at them and spraying them with tear gas, before firebombing their cars.
Police have put a gag order on details of the investigation into the attack.
