  "account": "A 21-year-old man from east Jerusalem was apprehended on Tuesday morning on charges of publishing content on social media that incited against Israel and expressed support for terrorist organizations and their members, according to police. The suspect, hailing from the Sur Bahir neighborhood, was apprehended on Sunday following an investigation into alleged inciting videos he allegedly posted online. The videos, as per police, contained statements inciting against Israel and expressions of support and identification with terrorist groups and individuals. The suspect was brought before a court on Monday, which granted police a request to prolong his detention until Wednesday.\n\nSeparately, the previous week saw an Israeli man from the northern region arrested on suspicion of incitement following comments he posted about a Friday terror attack in Gilad Farm, reported Israel Police. The 39-year-old resident of Maghar made the comments in a post that read, \"They must be hunted down like pigs. God curse you; may not a single pig settler remain.\" An investigation was initiated by the Northern District Police after the comment was reported, leading to the issuance of a warrant for the man's arrest.",
