Defense Minister Benny Gantz has signed administrative detention orders against two East Jerusalem men over their alleged ties to the Hamas terror group.
Gantz’s office says the orders were issued due to information about planned violent activities that they intended to advance, and the threat they pose to national security.
The announcement comes ahead of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, set to begin at the end of this week. The month is seen by security forces as a time of greater possibility of Palestinian attacks against Israelis.
