The man had been reported after posting photos of children being kidnapped by the terrorist organization and praising the attackers.

In addition, he had posted instructions on his Facebook page teaching how to make explosives.

After the arrest of the suspect, an inspection was carried out at his home as well as at the business he owns, where a West Bank resident, who was in Israel without a permit and was employed by the suspect, was located. 

The suspect and the West Bank resident were transferred to the police station in Majd el-Kurum for further investigation and will later be brought before the court to extend their detention.

“The Israel Police will continue to work with great effort to locate and deal with instigators of violence and acts of terrorism on social networks,” the police spokesperson said. “These contents that call for incitement against the security forces and support for a terrorist organization, especially these days, may upset public order and endanger the peace of citizens.”
