Jerusalem, 6 July, 2016 (TPS) -- Jerusalem (TPS) The Jerusalem District Police arrested a 16-year-old resident of the village of Isawiyya, for throwing firebombs at Hadassah Hopital on Mount Scopus last Monday.

“Intelligence and forensic evidence were gathered which led to the minor’s arrest. During questioning, the suspect confessed that he threw Molotov cocktails in to the backyard of the hospital,” stated a spokesperson with the Jerusalem District Police.
