Police and IDF troops this morning arrested a Palestinian woman who was recently released from Israeli prison, on suspicion of online incitement to terror.

The suspect, who police say is affiliated with Hamas, was freed in a hostage-prisoner exchange during this year’s Gaza truce. She resides in Yatta, a Palestinian city in the southern West Bank.

Police say she uploaded posts rejoicing over the death of an Israeli soldier in Gaza and lauding Iran’s ballistic missile attacks on Israel during the June war. Officers seized her phone and two computers upon her arrest, and she was transferred for questioning at the police station in Hebron.
