A man from the central city of Hod Hasharon was arrested after he allegedly published social media posts calling for violence against supporters of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, police say in a statement.
The 24-year-old suspect was detained this morning, but was later released under restrictive conditions following questioning.
Police will forward the findings of their investigation to the State Attorney’s Office for a decision on whether to prosecute.
Police say the suspect wrote online that “We came to slaughter Bibi-ists and Hitler supporters… a cult of fascists… we will murder you all,” among other incendiary messages.
Critics of the premier use the term “Bibi-ist,” based on Netanyahu’s nickname Bibi, as a derogatory label for his supporters.
