Authorities have announced that a joint operation between the General Security Service (GSS, also known as the Shabak or Shin Bet), the IDF, and police has resulted in the arrest of the cell responsible for setting fire to a gas station in the community of Eli.
During GSS questioning, two of the group confessed to the arson attack last month. One said that he came up with the idea and drove the car, while the other man threw the Molotov cocktail that ignited the flames. Both claimed that the attack was in revenge for the death of the toddler Ali Duwabshe, who was killed in an arson attack in the village of Duma.
