The Israeli fire department will investigate the cause of a fire Tuesday night at the parliamentary offices of Arab-Israeli MK Talab Al Sana (United Arab List) in Be'er Sheva, reported the Tel Aviv-based Haaretz newspaper.  

Police officers and firefighters at the scene managed to extinguish the fire, but not before the offices were completely burned, said the paper.  

Arab MKs have been subject to harassment and threats by extremist Israelis since the Intifada broke out in last September – Albawaba.com
