An Israeli court on Sunday charged a Palestinian child for alleged incitement “to violence and terrorism” in reference to anti-occupation advocacy.
A statement by the Israeli occupation police said officers have embarked over the past couple of weeks on a probe into suspicions of “incitement to violence and terrorism on Facebook” by two Jerusalemite minors in their 15’s of age.
The two children created a Facebook page entitled “the News of Bahaa Alyan” in reference to the Palestinian youth who carried out an anti-occupation shooting and stabbing attack in the Israeli illegal settlement of Armon Hanatziv built on Palestinian lands in Jabal al-Mukbir in southeastern Occupied Jerusalem.
The indictment accused the minors of publishing photos of “terrorists” which garnered thousands of likes and comments.
The Israeli police said a third suspect 32 from Jabal al-Mukbir was arrested on the same allegations.
The Israeli occupation authorities ruled for extending the captives’ remand with an indictment being filed against one of the minors.
Since the start of the anti-occupation Jerusalem Intifada in early October Israel has created over 5000 fake Facebook accounts to counter anti-occupation postings and chase down Palestinian activists on claims of inciting to violence.
