Two Jewish youths were detained on Tuesday, 26 Menachem Av in raids involving Israel Police and agents of the ISA (Israel Security Agency – Shin Bet) in the Binyamin and Shomron regions. In the morning, large numbers of police and ISA forces arrived at a construction site in Ariel and detained a Jewish minor who was working at the site.
Later the same morning police and ISA forces approached a group of Jewish youths hiking in the area of the Givat Assaf intersection in the Binyamin region and detained one youth.
A Honenu attorney is attempting to clarify the reason for the detentions. Honenu would like to remind readers that recently many youths have been detained in the Binyamin, Yehuda and Shomron regions in what appears to be a witch hunt against hilltop youth.

Israel is in the Middle East. The police don’t need a reason to arrest you if you disagree with the government. Its the minhag ha-makom. If you want civil rights, try America.
