Hebron Residents Arrested for Incitement After Deadly Terror Attack

Three Palestinian residents of Hebron were arrested Saturday night on suspicion of inciting terrorism and supporting violence on social media, following a deadly attack on Friday. The attack resulted in the deaths of Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shi Sulem. According to police, the suspects published content glorifying the terrorists, expressing support for the attack, and endorsing the Hamas terror organization. The arrests were carried out by the "Arrow of Judea" special patrol unit and detectives from the Judea and Samaria district, after their online activities were monitored by the IDF's Central Command. Security forces searched the suspects' homes, confiscating mobile phones and computers for investigative purposes. Police stated that one suspect posted images of the terrorists with the caption, "The right is mine and the land is mine, you have no place on our soil," accompanied by praise for the attackers and a song glorifying them. Another suspect referred to the attack as "Operation Hebron." A third suspect shared posts calling on Arab and Islamic armies to wage war against Israel and engage in armed struggle. Police also reported identifying additional publications inciting violence and expressing solidarity with Hamas. The three suspects were transferred to the Hebron police station for further investigation. The investigation into the attack itself is ongoing, led by the Judea and Samaria district's central unit for investigating hostile terrorist activity, with the aim of identifying all individuals involved, including those who aided in its execution.
