Man Arrested for Arson at Muslim Cemetery in Jerusalem
Israeli police have arrested a 46-year-old man suspected of setting fire to a field of thorns at a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem. The incident was witnessed by a passerby who filmed the suspect and followed him until police arrived. The suspect was apprehended near the Mahane Yehuda market and has exercised his right to remain silent during questioning.
During a court hearing, police presented evidence suggesting the act was planned and deliberate, stating it was not an impulsive decision. A judge found sufficient suspicion of arson and dangerousness, extending the suspect's detention until September 22. The court also ordered a psychiatric evaluation for the suspect.
