A Tel Aviv fashion outlet was burned down after it encouraged teenaged girls to strip in a publicity stunt. Police said suspected arsonists shattered the facade of the Kenvelo store and then threw a lit bottle of fuel inside on Tuesday. Israel’s Channel 2 television showed a promoter last Friday urging girls to strip for a crowd outside the store in exchange for coupons, a stunt slammed by children’s protection advocates.
