As YWN had reported [HERE] on April 30, police were searching for a man who has attempted to set fir to three Shul’s. This morning, the man struck again – this time almost getting himself caught.

According to reports, people arriving to a Shul on Sokolov Street this morning saw the man trying to set fire to the building. The people chased him away, not before he managed to vandalize the Shul with graffiti.

The arsonist reportedly poured flammable material, and had sprayed graffiti on the Aron Hakodesh.

As YWN had reported previously, the arsonist had attempted to set an Aron Hakodesh on fire in his previous arson attacks.

Police are desperately trying to apprehend the man, and an intense investigation continues.
