A Palestinian suspect in his 20s, a resident of the village of Bidya in Samaria, was arrested last night (Thursday through Friday) after he uploaded a video to the ticking network in which he was seen uprooting a mezuzah and trying to burn it.
After his arrest, the suspect was transferred for questioning and will later be brought for a hearing in his case in a military court.
A Palestinian pulls a mezuzah - and burns it
Police opened an investigation following a video circulated on the Tiktok network in which the suspect was seen pulling a mezuzah out of place and trying to ignite the card inside.
And tonight, as stated, the police forces together with IDF forces from the Ephraim Police Station arrested the suspect at his home.
Preliminary investigation indicates that the suspect committed the act while working in one of the central cities.
In the video that was uploaded, in which he documented himself pulling a mezuzah out of place, breaking it with a hammer and then burning the card, tens of thousands of people watched, and this week many Israelis also joined in, reacting angrily to the desecration of the mezuzah.
"We will find you," wrote one of the surfers, and then threatened:
Many posted blatant threats against the man: "With this the mezuzah you will not have a home alive, your name will be erased, you will start looking for a grave, you will end a battle," the surfers wrote angrily.
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
