The Israeli Defence Force is investigating a suspected arson attack on a tomb in the West Bank believed to belong to Eleazar the Priest, the biblical son of Aaron. Footage of the alleged incident circulated online, prompting the IDF probe into what appears to be a deliberate fire at the religious site.

The investigation comes amid ongoing tensions in the West Bank region and follows previous incidents involving damage to Palestinian and Israeli religious and cultural sites. The IDF has not yet released details on findings or identified potential suspects.

This incident reflects broader concerns about archaeological and religious heritage protection in disputed territories, with both Israeli and Palestinian communities reporting damage to sites of cultural significance.
