An indictment was filed on Sunday in the District Court in Jerusalem for arson against one of the suspects arrested on September 11 for setting fire to the Einot Tzukim reserve next to the Dead Sea.

The indictment states, "After filling the tank with fuel from the tank of the vehicle the suspect set fire to the container by using a lighter, near the fence of Einot Tzukim. As a result, a fire broke out, causing extensive damage to the reserve and the animals in the reserve.”
