An IDF force arrested two young Arab men from the village of Madama
near Yitzhar Thursday, after they set fire to brush north of the
Jewish community in Samaria (Shomron).
Earlier in the day, large forces of police and firefighters arrived
at the Yitzhar after receiving a report that a fire had broken out
near the village of Asira al Kabaliya.
An Arab fire truck put out the blaze while the IDF provided security.
Later, the two Arabs were spotted in the act of setting a fire north
of Yitzhar. After a short chase, the two were arrested and taken to
Shin Bet interrogation.
