Seven suspects wanted over an arson attack at a police patrol at the entrance of Deraz village have been arrested, Bahrain’s Interior Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The attack, according to Bahrain’s Director-General of Criminal Investigation and Forensic Science, took place on March 21 and caused a minor injury to a policeman.

Crime scene specialists and other security teams were deployed to carry out an investigation, which led to identifying the suspects and arresting them, he said.

Cameras with footage showing the attack and some other evidence were also seized from the suspects.

Legal proceedings were initiated to refer the case to the Public Prosecution, the official added.

The King Salman Humanitarian Aid and Relief Center (KSrelief) on Wednesday dispatched the first of several aid shipments to Syria. Departing from King Khalid International Airport, the plane carries food, shelter, and medical supplies destined for Damascus International Airport.
Advisor to the Royal Court and Supervisor General of the KSrelief Dr. Abdullah Al Rabeeah told the Saudi Press Agency that the "airlift will be followed by a land bridge in the coming days."
He emphasized that these efforts demonstrate the Kingdom’s commitment to humanitarian support under its longstanding tradition of aiding friendly nations worldwide. He highlighted the Kingdom's ongoing assistance since the Syrian crisis began in 2011 and Saudi Arabia’s significant role in international humanitarian aid.
Through the KSrelief, Saudi Arabia has consistently provided support to internally displaced Syrians and those in neighboring countries, as well as to victims of the northern Syrian earthquake in February 2023. From 2011 to the end of 2024, the Kingdom's total aid provided by Saudi Arabia to Syria amounted to $856,891,000.
