A fire broke out near Kibbutz Kfar Etzion. The findings of the initial investigation on the ground showed that it was a deliberate arson that was probably carried out by Arabs from the area.
Deputy Tafser Tamir Erez, commander of the Yehuda regional station: “”In the last hour, a report was received at the Yosh headquarters about a fire in a grove near Kibbutz Kfar Etzion. The firefighters who arrived at the scene identified a developed fire and began operations to contain the fire line and extinguish it.
During the night, the station’s firefighters worked on a fire in an area cell near the current fire.
A fire investigator who was at the scene determined that there is no connection between the fires, meaning that they are two different fires. The findings of the investigation so far indicate that this is a deliberate arson, and it is also an area with a regional history of arson.”
The phenomenon of Arab nationalist “arson terrorism” has been spreading throughout our country in recent years, and in particular in the Judea and Samaria region, where every summer the forces encounter an extreme load of arson cases, most of which are caused by Arab terrorists who set fires near settlements with the aim of burning and murdering Jews.
