Shomron Regional Council Head: 'No Jews were ever arrested for torching mosque'
Shomron Regional Council Head Gershon Mesika, responded to accusations that settlers were behind the torching of a mosque in the Al Mughayir village on Wednesday and said: "The person who did this act is a pyromaniac who deserves to be condemned. However, it is important to note that as yet, no Jews have ever been arrested for torching a mosque, which calls for further investigation into the incident."
Mesika added that "we have already seen in the case of the mosque that was torched in Tuba-Zangariyye that a definite possibility exists that a resident of the village was behind the act of arson. I suggest that we let Shin Bet and the police do its work, find the culprits and bring them to justice."
