Following a fatal attack that claimed the lives of Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilam, Israeli security forces apprehended three suspects in Hebron. The arrests were made as part of an operation targeting incitement and terror support online, conducted by the Judea and Samaria District Police and the IDF's Yehuda Brigade.

During the operation, forces monitored social media for individuals inciting against Israel, supporting terrorists, or glorifying those who committed murder. The three arrested residents of Hebron, aged 17, 50, and another unspecified age, were found to have posted content praising the attackers. One post included a picture of the perpetrators with the caption, "The right is mine and the land is mine, you have no place on our land. This morning, they are with their Lord, living and receiving their sustenance," accompanied by a song praising them.

Another suspect referred to the attack as "Operation Hebron." A third suspect shared pronouncements from religious figures and other personalities calling for Arab and Islamic armies to wage war and armed struggle against "occupying Zionists," with accompanying lyrics invoking divine punishment. These publications, along with others expressing support for terrorism and identifying with groups like Hamas, led to the arrests.

Security forces raided the homes of the suspects, seizing their mobile phones and computers for investigative purposes. The individuals were transferred to the Hebron station for further questioning, and the investigation is ongoing.
