The Israel Police release to house arrest two suspects who allegedly stole military equipment from a quarantine facility set up by the IDF.

The police say that investigation into the incident is ongoing.

The two suspects are part of a group of far-right extremists who were forced into quarantine after coming into contact with a confirmed coronavirus carrier. After they violently opposed being sent to an existing facility, the IDF established a camp for them north of the Dead Sea.

Earlier this week, members of the group allegedly attacked a group of three Palestinians, throwing rocks at them and spraying them with tear gas, before firebombing their cars. Police put a gag order in place over their investigation into the attack.
