A man from central Israel was arrested by the Shin Bet and the cyber unit of Israel Police's Lahav 433 on suspicion of publishing content on Telegram inciting terrorism and calling for the assassination of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Shin Bet and police said on Monday.
The suspect was arrested on Sunday after an undercover investigation conducted by the Shin Bet and police.
The suspect has been released to house arrest and the evidence in his case has been transferred to the prosecutor's office to examine charges against him.
"Israel Police, with the assistance of the Shin Bet, will continue to act in a determined and uncompromising manner to eradicate incitement to violence and terrorism in the physical world and cyberspace," said the police and Shin Bet.
Jerusalem resident arrested for threatening Ben-Gvir
Israel Police also announced on Monday that they had arrested a resident of Kafr 'Aqab in east Jerusalem for posting incendiary content and posts encouraging and supporting terrorism, including threats to harm National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
The suspect was arrested in the Old City of Jerusalem on March 27 after police received reports about content he posted on social media.
The content posted by the suspect includes posts supporting terrorist organizations and terrorists and videos in which he is seen holding various weapons and firing them. The suspect also published a photo of a terrorist holding a knife to Ben-Gvir's neck with the words "the spirit of al-Nabulsi will catch you..." in an apparent reference to Ibrahim al-Nabulsi, a commander of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades terrorist group.
The investigation against the suspect has been completed and an indictment is set to be filed against him in the coming days.
