Police announce that six Israeli Arab residents of eastern portions of the capital have been arrested on suspicion of arson connected to the recent arson terrorism that led to fires around the country and massive destruction and property loss.

The suspects are believed to have started fires as acts of terrorism arson based in part on Facebook posts and other social media information gathered by police. It appears their need for notoriety and desire for the thousands of ‘likes’ they have earned have landed them in jail.
