Two 15-year-old boys from the Lower-Galilee Arab city of Tamra have been arrested on suspicion of starting a fire in the forest between Tamra and Kabul.

During a search that took place during the firefighting efforts, police noticed them running through the water channel leading to Tamra. The police detained the boys, who seemed pressured and admitted to the arson. The boys' parents were summoned to the police station while the fire department was taking control of the fire.
