Israeli police arrested two Palestinian residents of the villages of al-Majd and Dahariya for questioning on suspicion of incitement and encouraging attacks against Israeli citizens, including praise for the October 7 massacre. One of the suspects, identified with Hamas, wrote on social media: "Our war with Jews is an extermination war to the end," police said.
Israeli police on Tuesday arrested two Palestinian residents of the villages of al-Majd and Dahariya in Judea and Samaria on suspicion of incitement to terrorism, encouraging attacks against Israeli citizens, and praising the October 7 massacre, according to a police statement carried by N12.
One of the suspects, identified by police as affiliated with Hamas, posted on social media: "Our war with Jews is an extermination war to the end." The arrests are part of ongoing Israeli security operations targeting incitement and terror-financing in the area. The suspects were taken for questioning; further details on the investigation were not immediately released.
The arrests follow a broader pattern of Israeli law enforcement action against incitement in the region. As The Zioneer has reported, former MK Mohammad Barakeh was arrested last month on similar charges, and several other residents of Arab communities have been detained this year for online praise of attacks against Israelis.
