An alarming phenomenon against the background of the wave of terrorist attacks: More and more residents of the Arab sector are wearing T-shirts with a print of an M-16 rifle, a symbol of the Palestinian armed struggle * In the Investigations Division , Should wake up "


In the shadow of the wave of terrorism:

The Investigations and Intelligence Division is examining together with legal sources whether any punitive measures can be taken to curb the phenomenon in which residents in the Arab sector wear T-shirts with an M16 rifle print - a symbol of the Palestinian armed struggle.

A senior police official told Israel Today yesterday that the issue under consideration is whether any offense can be attributed to the shirt wearers in the context of the security situation.

The T-shirt trend with M16 rifles painted on it began in the territories in February following the assassination in Nablus of three terrorists who were responsible for a series of shooting attacks on IDF forces and Israeli civilians - and aimed to support an armed struggle against Israelis.

In recent weeks, and especially in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks, the Palestinian trend has become disturbing and threatening, because it has begun to infiltrate Israel, mainly in the Arab sector.

In recent weeks, the police have received many complaints from civilians who resented the fact that Arab workers were walking around in various localities and supermarkets wearing the shirt.

"Inspired by the terrorist attacks, a new 'fashion' has arrived in the Arab sector, small children and adults wearing T-shirts with illustrations of an M16 rifle. The Israeli police will wake up, it is incitement and encouragement to terrorism. Where are you?" MK Itamar Ben Gvir tweeted on his Twitter account. Works at the supermarket while wearing this shirt and caused a stir among customers.

The phenomenon is causing a stir not only in the streets and supermarkets, but also the network is upset by many photos of Arabs wearing rifle shirts.

The police claim that in the situation on the face of it, it does not appear that wearing the shirt constitutes any offense.

However, a senior police official added that we will examine whether it is possible to involve wearing the shirt against the background of terrorist incidents in the basket of incitement offenses.
