This happened to my minivan in 2014 in the Arnona neighborhood in Jerusalem. At that time, about 30 Jewish vehicles in the Arnona / Baka neighborhood were firebombed. Our minivan was in our garage, which was an “open” garage, i.e. there was no door. It was a horrible experience, with the smoke going through the entire building and everyone needing to evacuate to fix the extensive damage done. The police insisted that the news not cover the attacks and the government refused to list these attacks as terrorism, causing our insurance to pay for it and our insurance premiums to skyrocket.
it only takes one evil soul less individual…..may he be caught in his own flame of destruction
