Israeli security forces arrested three residents of Hebron, including a 17-year-old minor, on suspicion of inciting terrorism on social media. The arrests followed an online monitoring operation that identified posts expressing support for terrorists who recently murdered two IDF soldiers and calling for war against Israel. Security forces raided the suspects' homes, confiscating phones and computers.

According to police, one suspect posted an image of the terrorists 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." The post was accompanied by a song praising the terrorists. Another suspect referred to the attack as "Operation Hebron," while a third shared content from religious figures and others calling for Arab and Islamic armies to wage armed conflict against Israel. These posts included songs with calls to fight Israel and prayers for victory.

Police stated that these publications indicate support for the Hamas terror organization and the perpetrators of the attack. The confiscated devices are being examined as part of the ongoing investigation. The suspects were transferred to the Hebron station for further questioning.

In parallel, an investigation into the deadly attack is continuing, aiming to identify all involved parties, including those suspected of aiding in its execution. Police emphasized their continued efforts against online incitement to terrorism and support for attacks on security forces.
