Northern District police arrested a 39-year-old Arab resident of Magyar on suspicion of incitement - after, according to the police, he posted a comment on social media about a video from the attack at Gilad Farm, which read: "We must hunt them down like pigs... so that not a single pig settler remains.".

Upon receiving the report, the Northern District police opened an investigation and, after receiving the appropriate permits, the suspect was arrested on suspicion of publishing incitement to racism, publishing a direct call to commit an act of terrorism, and more.

During the search of the suspect's home, 2 M-16 magazines full of ammunition, fireworks, cash in the amount of over 100,000 NIS, and other items were seized.

The suspect was detained for questioning and, at the police's request, his detention was extended in court until Tuesday.
