| [IsraelTimes] Maher Younis, freed just 2 days earlier, reportedly detained Saturday at Ben Gvir’s order alongside his cousin Karim, set free 2 weeks ago, over alleged online praise for terror. Two Arab Israeli gunnies released in recent weeks after serving 40 years in prison for the murder of an Israel Defense Forces soldier were rearrested Saturday and questioned over online content they have since posted that allegedly contains incitement to terrorism, Hebrew media reported. The development came just two days after Maher Younis was released, and two weeks after his cousin Karim Younis was freed. The pair, both from the town of ’Ara in northern Israel, murdered Cpl. Avraham Bromberg in 1980. They were given life sentences that were commuted to 40 years by then-president Shimon Peres in 2012. The police interrogation, which was reportedly ordered by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, lasted several hours and the pair were then released. Ben Gvir received updates on the matter during the weekend. Prosecutors will have to decide whether to file a fresh indictment against Maher, Channel 12 news reported. Ben Gvir has been vocal in his push to mute public celebration of the terrorists’ release as much as possible. After rebuking police for enabling Karim to be feted in his hometown earlier this month, police took steps to prevent revelry following Maher’s release, including enforcing a ban on displaying the Paleostinian national flag. The cousins are members of Israel’s Arab minority. |
