A neighbor dispute in the northern settlement of Ein Yaakov ended with a car being set on fire, but the suspect in the act failed to distance himself from the scene: minutes after the fire, he was located by police officers suffering from burns on his hands and was arrested. An indictment for arson was filed against the suspect, a 35-year-old resident of the settlement. The incident occurred on October 10 in the afternoon. Police investigation revealed that on the day of the incident, the suspect arrived at a gas station and filled a jerrycan with flammable material, which he allegedly used later to set the car on fire. The background to the act was a local dispute between the suspect and his neighbor, whose family's car was torched. On October 29, the Haifa District Attorney's Office filed an indictment against him at the Haifa District Court. Police emphasized that setting vehicles on fire can endanger human life.
