Palestinians set fire to West Bank synagogue for second time
By Nadav Shragai, Haaretz Correspondent
Tags: arson, Palestinians 

Palestinians set fire to a synagogue near the Dolev settlement in the West Bank early Friday.

Worshippers who arrived at the site to find the building in flames, its contents - including prayer books and torah scrolls - destroyed.

A monument in memory of Yair Mendelson, who was killed in a terrorist attack during the first intifada, was destroyed as well. A children's play structure was also vandalized.

A torn Israeli flag was left at the site. This marks the second time the synagogue was torched in the past ten months, and the third time the site was vandalized.
