Eight arrested in W. Bank for incitement and supporting terrorism [IsraelTimes] Israeli troops locked away Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! eight Paleostinians, including the sister of a terrorist who murdered a teenage girl in the settlement of Kiryat Arba, in overnight sweeps in the West Bank, the army said Sunday morning. It wasn’t immediately clear whether the sister who was arrested Sunday was the same one who praised her brother’s actions, but the IDF said the arrest came "as part of dealing with incitement and encouragement of attackers to engage in terrorist attacks." The official Paleostinian Authority news agency WAFA said Tarayrah was 22 years old. Muhammad Tararyah’s father was also arrested by Israeli troops, shortly after the attack. Police arrested six people in the Hebron area and two more in the Paleostinian town of Beit Fajjar, near Bethlehem. The roundups came as the army was bolstering its activity in the West Bank following a surge in attacks over the past several days, including a deadly drive-by shooting near Hebron on Friday. Cops arrest 9 Palestinians suspected of Temple Mount unrest [IsraelTimes] Nine East Jerusalem residents were tossed in the clink Drop the heater, Studs, or you're hist'try! Sunday for taking part in violent demonstrations on the Temple Mount, bringing the total number of recent arrests in connection with the holy site up to 58, police said. Law enforcement anticipated additional arrests as coppers worked to identify those who have thrown rocks and otherwise taken part in riots in the Old City of Jerusalem. The month-long holiday of Ramadan has seen an uptick in violence and unrest in the West Bank and Israel. The Temple Mount in particular, which was the site of multiple riots and violent incidents last September, had been relatively calm until the recent outbreak of rock throwing and festivities between worshipers and police. On Friday night, a number of Arab men hurled stones at Israeli security forces stationed at the Damascus Gate entrance to the Old City of Jerusalem. Police quickly responded with riot dispersal measures, and there were no injuries or damage reported. "The police have no intention of ignoring the latest disturbances that have happened on the Temple Mount and in the Old City area. We will continue to operate with all the tools at our disposal to locate, arrest and bring to justice the rioters," Jerusalem Police Chief Yoram Halevi said in a statement on Sunday. On Friday, Halevi instructed more than 3,000 police and Border Police officers to deploy throughout the capital ahead of the nighttime prayers.
