Arson

After the woman decided to call off the wedding, she began receiving threats from her ex-fiancé, who allegedly hired an arsonist to set fire to her car.

The initial incident had occured on September 18, when police received a report that a fire had been started near the settlement of Homesh.

Also on Wednesday, Palestinian rioters threw stones at a shepherd in Wadi Zarqa, causing minor injuries, according to United Hatzalah. MDA paramedics met the shepherd along Route 446 near Shuqra.

The IDF announced later on Monday that Israeli soldiers apprehended an additional terrorist involved in the attack following a pursuit with the assistance of the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency).

The demonstrations and blockades, which began last week, have become a political flashpoint at a sensitive moment for the government, which announced a series of deeply unpopular spending cuts.

Settler extremists threw stones, assaulted IDF and Border Police, and set fire to property throughout the area, actions which members of the establishment utterly condemned.

One military official said that "all it would take is a friction incident between Palestinians and Israelis that spirals out of control, is caught on video, and ignites the area."

The graffiti included the words "Revenge," "Happy holiday from the happy Jews," and "Regards to Bluth," an apparent reference to Central Command chief Maj.-Gen. Avi Bluth.

The IDF's statement follows a Ynet News report earlier on Saturday about Hebrew graffiti and a Star of David sprayed on the still-under-construction home of Kusra resident Louis Beyruti.

The synagogue is guarded by police almost around the clock, and it is possible that the close security presence enabled officers to identify and arrest the suspect so quickly.
