Jerusalem, 2 September, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Officers from the Inter-Agency Headquarters in the Judea and Samaria District, alongside Border Police and the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet), arrested three additional suspects overnight in connection with a series of severe arson and assault incidents in the Southern Hebron Hills.
The suspects, residents of Judea and Samaria and central Israel aged 15 to 22, were taken in for questioning, with police planning to request an extension of their detention in court.
Separately, at a hearing Wednesday, the court granted police’s request to extend the detention of seven other suspects, while releasing one detainee under restrictive conditions.
