A 21-year-old east Jerusalem resident was arrested on suspicion of publishing content inciting against Israel and expressing support for terrorist organizations and terrorists on social media, police announced on Tuesday morning.
Officers arrested the suspect, a resident of the Sur Bahir neighborhood, on Sunday after an investigation into videos he allegedly posted online.
Police said the videos contained inciting statements against Israel, as well as expressions of support and identification with terrorist groups and terrorists.
The suspect was brought before a court on Monday, which granted a police request to extend his detention through Wednesday.
Incitement to terror continues, man calls to 'hunt down' settlers
Last week, a northern Israeli man was arrested for alleged incitement following comments he posted on a video of the Friday terror attack in Gilad Farm, according to Israel Police.
"They must be hunted down like pigs. God curse you; may not a single pig settler remain," said the 39-year-old Maghar resident in a post.
An investigation was opened by the Northern District Police after the comment was reported, and a warrant for the man was issued.
