The Chanichei Yeshivos Shul in Yerushalayim’s Ramot Bet neighborhood was targeted by an arsonist earlier in the week police report. Local residents believe the attack is the work of local non-frum residents who are outspoken opposed to the shul and the changing trend, the reality that Ramot today is predominately chareidi.

The preliminary fire marshal’s report indicated there were three different areas set ablaze with a flammable substance.
