A popular Ramat Gan cafe, Emerge, was set on fire Wednesday evening for the third time, according to Israeli media reports. A note left at the scene reportedly attributed the arson to the cafe's decision to operate on Saturday, in defiance of the local religious-status-quo norms. The fire was extinguished by local fire crews, and no injuries were reported. Police have opened an investigation. The cafe had been torched twice previously, in incidents also linked to tensions over Saturday operation, as The Zioneer has previously reported. The motive remains under investigation, with police treating the incident as a criminal arson with a suspected ideological motive.
