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.

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. (AP) — Days after asking for the public’s help to determine what happened at a California protest that resulted in a Jewish demonstrator’s death, authorities said Thursday they still have no video of the incident and are urging patience as they investigate. Paul Kessler, 69, died early Monday at a hospital following a Sunday confrontation with a pro-Palestinian demonstrator over the Israel-Hamas war in Thousand Oaks, a suburb northwest of Los Angeles. Sheriff Jim Fryhoff said Tuesday that deputies determined Kessler had fallen backward and struck his head on the ground. The pro-Palestinian demonstrator stayed at the scene and told deputies he had called 911, Fryhoff said. Demonstrations have been widespread and tensions are escalating in the United States as the death toll rises in the Israel-Hamas war.
