A 39-year-old resident of Maghar on the Lebanese border was arrested on suspicion of incitement offenses over social media posts referencing Friday's deadly shooting near Havat Gilad in Samaria, according to Israel Police.
The attack killed two Israel Defense Forces soldiers.
Northern District police launched an investigation after the posts from the suspect's private account raised concerns of incitement. With legal authorization, officers detained the suspect on suspicion of incitement to racism, directly calling for a terrorist act and related offenses.
A search of his home recovered two loaded ammunition magazines, fireworks, more than 100,000 shekels in cash and additional evidence, police said.
