JERUSALEM (JTA) — Three Palestinians were arrested on suspicion of carrying out arson attacks in the West Bank during last month’s forest fires. Ahmad Hazem Ata al-Rimawi was shot in the chest early Sunday morning during a riot in the Palestinian village of Beit Rima, near Ramallah, the Palestinian Ministry of Health told the Palestinian Maan news agency. Palestinians in the area began rioting and throwing rocks at Israeli forces, injuring a Border Police officer. The three men were arrested on Nov. 26, in a joint operation of the Israel Defense Forces, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet security agency, the Shin Bet said in a statement released on Sunday. An IDF official said that the military is examining the report that a Palestinian was killed and another was wounded in clashes that took place overnight in the West Bank village of Beit Rima.
