Northern District prosecutors are set to file a severe indictment against a resident of Yafia for allegedly inciting racism and directly calling for terrorist acts. An investigation by the Northern District Police concluded that the suspect systematically used his social media accounts to spread inflammatory content. This included posts honoring Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar and Ahmed Yassin, calls to continue the "fight and jihad" against Israel, and praise for terrorists who attacked civilians and security forces. Particularly egregious were posts commemorating the one-year anniversary of the deaths of IDF officers Major Yaniv Kola and Second Lieutenant Itay Ya'avetz, who fell in October 2025 following a Hamas ceasefire violation. On the anniversary of their deaths, the suspect reshared a propaganda post from the terrorist organization celebrating the soldiers' murder. The suspect was arrested on October 26 and has had his detention extended multiple times as the investigation progressed. Police emphasized their zero-tolerance policy for online incitement, vowing to act decisively against anyone praising, identifying with, or encouraging terrorist acts online and elsewhere.
