Friends of the principal said members of the national-religious camp who live in Ramle have suffered from recent attacks by Arab neighbors, adding that the latest arson incident was nationalistically motivated.

"We are examining the motive," she said.
The incident took place in the city's Agash neighborhood. Residents of the national-religious community in the city released a statement saying they will "not be deterred by Arab rioters and we will continue to strengthen Ramle's Jewish residents."
