In times of heightened tension, Israel’s law enforcement is targeting not only weapons on the ground but also the ones online. A recent operation by the Judea and Samaria District Police reveals a growing front: where bullets and posts can both ignite violence. And in the shadow of regional escalation, it’s Jerusalem that remains the ultimate target
Weapons at Home, Incitement Online
In the village of Aqabat Jaber, police and Border Police officers raided the home of two suspects—a father and son—and seized an M-16 rifle, magazines, and ammunition. Elsewhere, a young woman was arrested near Nablus after allegedly posting inflammatory content online, including explicit calls for violence against Israeli citizens. Security forces view this as a dangerous convergence between tangible weapons and digital influence

Preaching Hatred, Arrests by Night
Later that night, officers from the Judea District and Border Police arrested a woman from Beit Duqqu accused of inciting terror on social media. In a separate sweep, three additional Palestinians were detained for spreading violent content—including one who, according to investigators, serves as an imam. Authorities say his seized materials included sermons that explicitly encouraged hostility. The digital pulpit, it seems, has become a frontline of its own
The Jerusalem Line: From Posts to Targets
Beyond the arrests lies a coordinated strategy: real-time intelligence, joint military-police operations, and swift response. Additional suspects from Kalkas and Beit Awwa were detained for incitement. Police say these arrests are part of a broader effort to neutralize any threat that may eventually reach Jerusalem—the symbolic heart and strategic focus of many hostile messages
According to the Judea District Police, operations will continue in coordination with other security agencies to prevent any hostile activity—on the ground and online.
