Jerusalem police have completed their investigation into a 52-year-old resident of the Old City suspected of intentionally setting fire to a sukkah in the city center during the Sukkot holiday. A statement of prosecution was filed Wednesday, indicating an intent to file serious charges against him in the coming days. The investigation began after police received a report of a sukkah fire near Agrippas Street. Officers from the Lev Habira station, working with Jerusalem district observers, quickly launched an investigation. Evidence suggests the act was committed maliciously and with racist motives. Following intelligence and operational activities, the suspect's identity was determined, and he was arrested. His detention was extended multiple times by the court as the investigation progressed.
