Israel Police has launched an investigation into statements made by Yitzhar resident Mrs. Eliraz Fein following the deadly arson attack in the Shechem area PA (Palestinian Authority) village of Duma that claimed three lives. There is also an open file with police against Mrs. Fein for comments supporting rock-throwing at IDF soldiers.

Police are launching an investigation for alleged incitement by Fein after posting comments supporting the arson attack on Facebook. Mrs. Fein has been questioned in the past after expressing her opinion in a closed forum for Shomron residents, supporting throwing rocks at Jews in certain circumstances, even if such an act would lead to the death of an IDF soldier. She has also spoken out in support of the recent arson attack against a Church in the Tiveria area.
