Israel Police arrests a man who they say was posting threats online against the IDF commander of Elor Azaria, the soldier accused of shooting and killing a disarmed Palestinian stabber in Hebron in March.

According to a statement from police, the man — a 34-year-old resident of a West Bank settlement — is suspected of incitement to violence, intimidating a witness, and insulting a public servant.
