21-Year-Old Arrested For Belonging To A Terrorist Organization


Police have arrested a 21-year-old male who is a member of a terrorist organization. An indictment against him is being prepared.

During the past month, Israel Police conducted a covert investigation in cooperation with the Shin Bet against a 21-year-old resident of eastern Jerusalem for belonging to and supporting a terrorist organization, as well as incitement to terrorism and violence. A large number of investigative actions were carried out, which led to the establishment of an evidentiary infrastructure against the suspect, with the approval of the State Attorney’s Office for investigation of incitement, membership and membership in a terrorist organization.

The suspect, who was convicted in the past for incitement to violence, terrorism and support for a terrorist organization, was sentenced to eight months in prison and released from prison nine months ago. Upon his release, he returned to support terrorism and joined an active terrorist organization in the Ramallah area, where he advanced to a senior position, exploiting his status for incitement, terrorism and violence.

The covert investigation became apparent last week when the suspect was arrested at his home in eastern Jerusalem by Jerusalem police officers and brought to a pre-trial interrogation for membership in a terrorist organization, support and incitement to violence.

The suspect’s remand was extended by the court and on erev Shabbos 29 Sivan, the prosecution is expected to file an indictment against him for “activities and membership in a terrorist organization” and a request to detain him until the end of proceedings
