A 20-year-old woman from East Jerusalem was arrested by police in the Jerusalem district on suspicion of inciting and supporting terrorism, particularly Hamas, Israeli police reported on Sunday.

According to police, she called on Jerusalem residents on social media to take revenge on Gaza and attack Israel. At the end of her questioning, a prosecutor's statement was filed against her in preparation for an indictment, which is expected in the next few days.

The suspect is a resident of Ras al-Amud. The investigation began after she posted inflammatory and pro-terrorist content on social media. Among the posts she uploaded online, the suspect praised and glorified terrorists. In one social media post, she wrote: “Jerusalem's, penetrate deep into Israel and exact blood revenge for Gaza. Her actions resulted in the death of nine settlers, including soldiers,” referring to the five people pictured in the graphic.

After police collected evidence, an arrest warrant was issued and she was taken into custody for questioning.
