(IsraelNN.com) Police arrested 15-year-old Arab twins on Thursday for allegedly setting fire to a synagogue in the mixed Arab-Jewish city of Lod. The two will face a court hearing Friday. The twins' attorney said his clients had nothing to do with the attack. At the time that the synagogue was bombed one of the two was in school while the other was at work, he said.

Worshipers arrived at the Adat Moshe V'Yisrael synagogue in Lod on Wednesday morning and realized that the building had been the target of a firebomb attack. The attack caused damage to the prayer hall and to several chairs. The fire went out on its own before it could cause further damage. The same synagogue had been targeted weeks earlier. In the first attack, vandals sprayed insults on the building's walls.
