A bus was set on fire near a cemetery in the city, a week after a similar incident occurred in a Jewish neighborhood in Ramla, when a sukkah was set on fire and graffiti in Arabic was spray-painted with the words "Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades." A restraining order was imposed on the details of the investigation.
A bus was set on fire yesterday (Thursday) in Ramla, to the new cemetery in the city. Firefighters who arrived at the scene worked to put out the fire and there is a suspicion that it was an intentional arson. Last week, a bus and a sukkah were set on fire in Ramla, and graffiti in Arabic was written on walls in one of the city's Jewish neighborhoods: "Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades."
The Shefela police opened an investigation, which is defined as a security investigation, and examined whether there was a connection between the arson of the bus yesterday and the arson of the bus and the graffiti address carried out last week. The Magistrate's Court in Rishon Lezion imposed a restraining order on every detail of the investigation.
Ramla was one of the focal points of the riots that took place during Operation The Wall Guard in May. On May 11, an Arab 32-year-old city resident was shot dead by a Jew. According to the shooter, he carried out the shooting with no choice after his life was in danger during the riots in the city.
