The Etzion Bloc community of Bat Ayin responded on Sunday night to the arrest of three Jewish youths from the community on suspicion of firebombing an Arab taxi just over a week ago.

“The community of Bat Ayin denounces and condemns all acts of violence against innocent people. We are confident that none of our residents had anything to do with this serious act, which is contrary to any human and Jewish moral,” said a statement from the community.
