Suspect arrested for setting fire to thorn field in Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem

|
Police arrested a 46-year-old man who was filmed setting fire to a thorn field in a Muslim cemetery in Jerusalem. A passerby noticed him, documented him in photos and video and followed him until officers arrived. The suspect was arrested near Mahane Yehuda Market and remained silent during questioning. At a court hearing, police claimed they have evidence pointing to 'planning and execution,' and that 'it's not like he happened to pass by the location and decided to commit the act.' The court determined there is reasonable suspicion of arson and danger, extended his detention until September 22 and ordered him to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
