"The Israel Police will bolster its presence around mosques nationwide after one such premises was set on fire in an Upper Galilee village overnight Monday.

Police Operations Division Chief Nissim Mor ordered the department to augment patrols around mosques and other Muslim holy sites for fear that they could become targets of similar hostile "price tag" acts.

Special task forces are also to be established to deal with "price tag" incidents and riots.

Police Comissioner Yohanan Danino instructed the forces to adopt a zero-tolerance policy towards rioters and violators of the law, while continuing to communicate with local authorities to restore public order."
