Border Police undercover units, together with IDF and police, raided the village of Kaddum overnight and arrested two brothers who are officers in the Palestinian Authority police, one a senior officer, on suspicion of starting the massive wildfire that ravaged the Samaria region, according to an exclusive report. Footage of the arrest was released.
The two suspects arrested on suspicion of starting the massive wildfire in Samaria were identified as brothers serving as officers in the Palestinian Authority police, one of them a senior officer, according to an exclusive report and footage released by The Zioneer. Border Police undercover units, backed by IDF and Shai District police, conducted a precision raid on their homes in the village of Kaddum late Sunday night.
The Zioneer reported earlier Monday that the suspects are members of the Juma family, relatives of Shadi Juma, a former PA police officer charged last week with the 2007 murder of Ido Zoldan. The fire, which broke out in the Havat Gilad area, caused extensive damage and prompted a large-scale investigation.
Footage released by the security forces shows the nighttime raid and the arrests. The investigation continues.
