The terrorist Maher Younes, who was released from prison this weekend after serving 40 years in prison, was detained this evening (Saturday) for questioning for incitement to terrorism after he wrote words of praise for terrorism on social networks.
Younes, served the sentence after he was accused of murdering the soldier Avraham Bromberg together with his cousin Karim Younes.
At the time he was released, Minister of National Security Itamar Ben Gvir ordered a ban on liberation celebrations, which included an instruction not to wave flags, set up tents, and any other act of support and sympathy for terrorism.
National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir said in response, "At the end of the week, I led an uncompromising policy of war in support of terrorism and with effective police activity we prevented, for the first time in many years, inciting celebrations and sympathy for terrorism. During my shift I will not allow tents, flags and terrorist celebrations."
The minister added and said, "The repeated incitement of the terrorist Maher Yunus is further proof of the great importance of the death penalty law for terrorists. Until we pass this important law, we will continue to fight a stubborn war in support of terrorism and incitement to terrorism."
He was murdered while on his way from his base in the Golan Heights to his home.

The soldier Avraham Bromberg, a resident of Zichron Yaakov, was murdered in 1980 while on his way from his base in the Golan Heights to his home.
Karim and Maher Younes put the soldier in their car, grabbed his weapon, shot him in the head and then threw him out of the vehicle on the side of the road.
Four days later he died of his wounds.
Israel then did everything to bring the killers to justice after they were captured, about two years after the murder.
They were tried by the military court in Ramla, which sentenced the commander of the squad, Sami Younes, to life imprisonment and the two members of the squad to the death penalty.
Avi Bromberg's parents, Sara and Haim Bromberg, demanded that the death sentence be carried out immediately, but this did not happen and four years after the verdict, their sentence was commuted to life imprisonment.
