Video footage obtained by authorities allegedly shows the suspect walking through the settlement and hanging the signs. A search of his digital devices revealed extensive inciteful materials, including calls to harm Israeli forces and the state. Among the discovered content were slogans like "Burn the Zionists" and "A good IDF soldier is a dead IDF soldier."
A prosecutor’s statement was filed against the suspect on Tuesday. Authorities intend to press charges and request he be remanded to custody until the end of legal proceedings.
Superintendent Gil Limoy, commander of the Binyamin police station, said, "We will continue to use all available means to prevent such acts of incitement."
