Israel Police arrested two residents of Betar Illit, aged 23 and 19, on suspicion of carrying out three arsons at a cafe on Uziel Street in Ramat Gan over recent months, N12 reports. The suspects were taken into custody Wednesday; no further details on the investigation were released.
Police now confirm the arrest of two suspects in the Ramat Gan cafe arson case, providing their ages and hometown. This follows an earlier report by The Zioneer that a second suspect had been arrested at 14:52, after a first arrest earlier Wednesday. The cafe on Uziel Street has been targeted by arson three times in recent months, causing property damage. The motive remains unclear, though an anonymous note left at the scene in a previous incident reportedly linked the arson to the cafe's Saturday operation. The investigation is ongoing.
