A California man was arrested Thursday in the case of a 69-year-old pro-Israel protester who died after an altercation with a pro-Palestinian demonstrator in Southern California earlier this month, the authorities said. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department said that Loay Alnaji, 50, was arrested in Moorpark, Calif., and was being held on suspicion of involuntary manslaughter in connection with the death of the protester, Paul Kessler. Mr. Alnaji’s bail was to be set at $1 million, the sheriff’s office said in a statement announcing the arrest. The Ventura County district attorney’s office was still reviewing the evidence Thursday morning and said that it expected to determine the exact charges against Mr. Alnaji later in the day.
