Unknown persons started a fire at the Hesder Yeshiva in Akko (Acre) early Sunday morning. No one was hurt, but the building sustained heavy damage. One direction being investigated is that this was a follow up attack by Arabs, related to the Arab riots which destroyed Jewish property in Akko on Yom Kippur (The Day of Atonement).

In the video below, hear a phone interview with Dor’el Abramowitz, the manager of the burnt yeshiva, and see accompanying pictures.
