Police arrest Haredi reporter on suspicion of ‘inciting terror’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GooglePolice arrest ultra-Orthodox journalist Israel Frey after receiving complaints about several of his tweets that were seen as inciting Palestinian terror against Israelis.
Frey is detained after he refused a police summons to come in for questioning.
In recent months Frey tweeted several times after attacks.
In a tweet after Sgt. Noa Lazar, 18, was shot and killed at a checkpoint near the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem, Frey said that “attacks on security forces are not terror.”
In another tweet, he praised a Palestinian who attempted an attack in Jaffa for his “restraint” in not killing innocent Israelis on his way there from Nablus in the West Bank, and said he “deserved a medal.”
