Israeli police arrested a Jewish man for setting fire to the interior of the Catholic Church church called the Church of all nations located in the Mount Olives in Jerusalem on December 4

The unidentified 49 year old Jewish is believed to be as the same suspect for burning different holy sites in Jerusalem on the basis of hate crime against the Catholic Church but no evidence has been verified.

Based on reports, the man set fire to the interior of the church by pouring flammable fluid and setting it aflame.  A church guard noticed the man and seized him until the israeli police arrived to the scene. Fortunately, the fire didn't spread and consume the whole church and only a small portion of the interior got burned.  Firefighters arrived on time. No injuries were reported and the damages were considered minimal.
