By Haaretz Service
Tags: Synagogue, Israel News 

Police have arrested a 24-year-old Jerusalem resident on suspicion of raping a 6-year-old girl in the toilet of a synagogue on Yom Kippur.

Immediately after the incident allegedly transpired, the girl told her parents about it.

The 6-year-old's father then approached the man and took his identity card. The father later informed police about the incident at the close of the festival, considered to be the most holy in Judaism, on Thursday night.
