Despite a police and Shin Bet gag order on the investigation and arrest of a suspect who damaged and set fire to Rav Yitzhak Yosef’s shul in Jerusalem on Sunday morning, some details have emerged. The suspect, from a chareidi family with rabbinic ties, is believed to have been working for the Iranian government, possibly unknowingly. The Shin Bet suspects others are involved, but the individual has refused to provide additional information. Sources tell YWN it’s possible he was unaware of his Iranian ties. As YWN has reported, numerous arrests have occurred in recent months of individuals unknowingly paid by Iran to commit vandalism, including starting fires, spray-painting graffiti, photographing specific targets, and other disruptive acts.

The judge accepted the prosecution’s request on Tuesday to extend the detention of the suspect in the arson of HaRav Yitzchak Yosef’s shul, who was arrested by the police and Shin Bet on Monday evening. The suspect’s identity remains under a court-imposed gag order and cannot be published at this time. Until now, nearly all details of the investigation had been under a sweeping gag order, with only the existence of the case made public. The court has now lifted some of those restrictions, allowing additional information to be released. While the suspect’s name remains under gag order, the court has permitted the publication of the fact that the suspect’s detention has been extended.
