Israeli police discovered and confiscated signs and items supporting terrorism in two warehouses within Jerusalem's ultra-Orthodox Mea She'arim neighborhood. The operation, conducted by officers from the Lev HaBira Police Station, also yielded Palestinian flags, a hat bearing a Hamas-affiliated design, spray paint cans, and a paintball rifle.
Authorities have not yet identified the owners of the confiscated materials. The items have been transferred to the Lev HaBira Police Station's Investigations Unit for further examination, and the investigation is continuing. This incident follows similar operations in the West Bank, where security forces previously seized inciting materials from the offices of the Union of Agricultural Work Committees (UAWC) in Ramallah and Hebron in December. That operation also led to the arrest of eight individuals and the summoning of 14 others for questioning.
