Police arrested a 25-year-old resident of Tayibe on suspicion of involvement in arsons on nationalist grounds in the Sharon area, but the court ordered his release after only a day. The suspect denies the allegations and argues that the videos presented against him should not be relied upon, saying: "I don't believe in videos, they can be edited." A source familiar with the details said that in recent period, arsons occur almost daily in the area of Tzur Yitzhak and Tzur Yigal.
