Jenin residents relight Christmas tree two days after arson; police arrest suspects

Just two days after an arson attack reduced the Christmas tree at the Latin Monastery Church in Jenin to ashes, local officials and community leaders gathered to relight it. Speakers at the event said restoring the tree was meant to reaffirm Jenin’s traditions of coexistence, national solidarity, and protection of holy sites. The public relighting ceremony on Wednesday, Dec. 24, came as Palestinian police announced the apprehension of three suspects less than 48 hours after the attack.
