Nine fire-hit locations so far ruled victims of deliberate arson

Nine locales have so far been established by investigators as having suffered major fire damage from deliberate hostile action during the five days of wildfires that roared across Israel last week. Their owners are thus entitled to claim war compensation from the state. They are: Moshav Tal-el; Zichron Yaacov, Dolev, Gilon, Talmon, Haifa, Nirit, Nataf, Neve Tsedek-Halamish.  Investigations continue at the other afflicted sites to determine if the fires were caused by arson or by accident.
