Police investigating possible arson at Holon government offices
Police are investigating a possible arson attack against government buildings in the central city of Holon.
Buildings housing local branches of the state Tax Authority and National Insurance Institute are damaged overnight by unidentified vandals who set a fire.
There are no injuries. No arrests have been made.
According to the Kan public broadcaster, the vandals also spray-painted “the blood of independent contractors is not worthless,” in an apparent reference to ongoing protests by the self-employed for greater government financial support amid the pandemic.
