Police say 30 suspected arsonists arrested so far
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA senior police source says that so far, officers have arrested 30 suspected arsonists in connection to the fires that have been raging throughout Israel for the past week.
The source says that of the 23 who have been remanded, 20 are Arab Israelis, and two have confessed.
The suspects have been tied to 15 fires — out of more than 90, the source says.
Police have yet to establish whether the most massive of those fires — the one that destroyed some 500 homes in Haifa on Thursday — was the result of arson.
