Barak: Mosque arsonists damaged Israel's reputation
Defense Minister Ehud Barak strongly condemned the torching of the mosque Sunday night in the town of Tuba Zangria in the Upper Galilee. "This is a criminal act that damages the State of Israel," he said.
"The criminals who carried out the act are interested in destabilizing relations between Jews and Arabs and have severely damaged Israel's reputation in the world. I am convinced that those responsible for the contemptible act will speedily be brought to justice." (Yoav Zitun and Moran Azulay)
