Officers from the Samaria and Judea District Police placed
two Beitar Illit youths under arrest for suspicion of planning attacks on
Jewish women who were romantically linked to Arab men.
This was against a
background of a conference of the Lehava Movement (a movement which opposes
intermarriage), which recently took place there. The police arrested the youths at the
conference.
Both boys have been released
to house arrest.
Attorneys for the two boys, from the Honenu NGO, Itamar Ben
Gvir, and Avichai Hajbi, have stated that there is no reasonable substantiation
for the charges.
They also noted that the young woman making the claim did not
identify them during a police line-up.
The Jerusalem Magistrate's Court
released them to house arrest.
