Three Israeli Arabs are in custody, suspected of setting the fire that damaged Akko’s Rut Tzafonit Hesder Yeshiva last week. 

Police involved in the case report the three have admitted to their actions and have even reenacted the crime. They explained they set the fire to get back at Jews for the damage to Arab homes in the city as a resulting of the Yom Kippur riots in the racially divided city.
