Palestinians accused of burning a small synagogue and holy books
A small makeshift synagogue outside Karmei Tsur near Hebron was torched Saturday and a Torah Scroll and prayer books burned. Police have uncovered tracks leading to the neighboring Palestinian town of Halhoul and opened an investigation. The synagogue was set up in memory of the three Israeli boys, Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach, who were kidnapped and murdered by Hamas in the summer of 2014.
