JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A far-right Jewish activist who set fire to a Jewish-Arab school in Jerusalem was sentenced on Tuesday to three years' imprisonment for the attack that targeted a rare symbol of co-existence in the holy city.
The defendant, Yitzhak Gabbai, 24, is a member of Lehava, an anti-Arab group. A Jerusalem court found that he and two accomplices set fire to a classroom in the "Hand in Hand" school a year ago.
