Mother of Halamish terrorist indicted for incitement

The mother of a Palestinian terrorist who stabbed to death three Israelis in the Halamish settlement last week, is indicted for incitement, the army says.

Ibtisam al-Abed, the mother of 9-year-old Omar al-Abed, was arrested last week after appearing in a video in which she praised her son for the attack, saying she was “proud of him” and hoped he would be released from custody.

Earlier this week, the family hosted guests and Abed’s mother handed out sweets. According to the military, she also “called for attacks on Jews.”
