The IDF says it arrested two Palestinians overnight in the West Bank cities of Nablus and Tubas for allegedly inciting violence and arson on social media amid the recent wave of wildfires across Israel.

According to the military, the suspects posted content encouraging further arson attacks and acts of terror, directly linking their calls to the recent blazes. One of the men, a resident of Nablus, allegedly voiced support for the killing of Jews. The other, from Tubas, reportedly praised Hamas and called for continued violence and arson.
