Three Arrested in Hebron for Supporting Terrorists Online

Israeli security forces arrested three Palestinians in Hebron on Sunday for inciting and expressing support for Hamas and the perpetrators of a recent deadly attack. The arrests followed monitoring of social media activity by the Central Command. The operation occurred days after a fatal shooting in Hebron that claimed the lives of Sergeant Major Ron Yonatan Reitman and Sergeant Yuval Shai Suilam. One of the arrested individuals, aged 17, posted a picture of the terrorists with the caption, "The right is mine and the land is mine, you have no place on our soil," accompanied by a song about paradise awaiting them. Another suspect referred to the killing of the soldiers as the "Hebron operation." The third suspect, aged 50, shared calls from religious figures for Arab armies to act against Israel, stating, "Oh Allah the mighty, victory is near," with a song about fighting and healing the hearts of believers playing in the background. During searches of their homes, police confiscated computers and mobile devices for further investigation. Authorities stated that in parallel to the investigation of the attack itself, security forces will continue to monitor and prosecute those who inflame the situation and express support for harming soldiers.
