A 16-year-old Jerusalem resident, a female described as a �known right-wing activist� has been taken into custody for allegedly making a series of threatening telephone calls to the home of IDF Major-General Avi Mizrachi.

The senior officer reports that in addition to threats, he was also subjected to verbal abuse, including shouts of �burn in hell�. The investigation first began in the north where he resides but after the origin of the phone calls was traced to the Jerusalem area, the investigation shifted to Shai (Shomron-Yehuda) District officials.

The suspect authorities report was among those detained last week when Jews broke into a Yericho shul without authorization and holed up in the building for a period of time until they were forced to leave. The suspect is being released on bail with restrictions on Wednesday.
