Police are suspecting arson may have been involved, after a fire broke out Friday evening at a self service gas station on Highway 60, near the community of Eli in the Mateh Binyamin Regional Council, north of Jerusalem.

The gas station, which is located on one of the main traffic arteries in Judea and Samaria, is accessible to both Israelis and Palestinian Arabs. Firefighters who were called to the scene extinguished the flames and there were no injuries.
