An arson attempt late Sunday night damaged the Shibli Local Council building in the Lower Galilee, marking the fourth such incident targeting the structure. Unknown individuals threw a Molotov cocktail at the building, igniting a fire, and additional firebombs were found on site, according to N12 reporter Or Ravid. Police have launched an investigation. No suspects have been named.
The Zioneer has previously reported on several arson attacks across Israel in recent months, including a suspected arson at a Japnika branch in Haifa, an attempted arson at the Karmei Tzur community in Judea and Samaria, and a large wildfire in Havat Gilad that destroyed 30 buildings and was suspected to be nationalist-motivated arson. While these incidents are not necessarily linked, they underscore a broader pattern of security challenges involving firebombing and arson.
