Israeli police have arrested a foreign national near Hebron on suspicion of supporting terrorism and engaging in anti-Israel activities. The arrest followed an incident near the outpost of Mitzpe Yair, where officers investigated a disturbance. The suspect was identified as a founder of the student organization MAC, which reportedly engages in anti-Israel activism following the October 7th events. Authorities also suspect her of supporting the organization Adameer, designated as a terrorist group in 2021.

Intelligence gathered by the Foreign Desk of the Judea and Samaria District revealed the suspect's online publications, including a photograph taken abroad showing her wearing a shirt depicting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with a sniper scope symbol aimed at his head and body. She was apprehended by Hebron police and is currently under investigation.

During questioning, the suspect allegedly made claims against Israel, including accusations of genocide. She reportedly stated that she came to Israel to intern with Adameer and provide legal aid to Palestinian prisoners. Following the investigation, she was detained.

On the morning of her detention, the suspect was brought before the Population and Immigration Authority for a hearing regarding her potential deportation and future entry ban from Israel. This action is part of a broader effort to prevent provocative activities and disturbances in the West Bank that could harm Israel's image. Since the beginning of 2026, 160 foreign activists with similar intentions have been denied entry, and over 60 have been deported.

Moshe Pinchi, Commander of the Judea and Samaria District, stated that the district will continue to act decisively to prevent harm to Israel and its global image by deporting and preventing the entry of foreign anti-Israel activists and terror supporters who come under the guise of aid and human rights organizations. He noted that the Foreign Desk is working to prevent these activists from reaching friction points to disrupt public order and harm IDF soldiers, as seen in this case. Pinchi described the incident as exceptional, involving incitement against the Israeli Prime Minister, which he called crossing a line.
