“Fires have forced tens of thousands of Israelis from their homes in the past four days, with officials saying many began almost simultaneously and were probably due to arson. Israeli police chief Roni Alsheich on Thursday said that, where arson was the cause, it was likely “nationalist,” a phrase authorities use to describe attacks by Arabs.
