Israel Police said Judea and Samaria District officers, Border Police and the Shin Bet arrested three additional suspects overnight in investigations into several serious arson and assault incidents in the South Hebron Hills. The suspects, residents of Judea and Samaria and central Israel aged 15 to 22, were transferred for questioning, and police said they would seek extensions of their detention. A court meanwhile extended the detention of seven of the eight suspects arrested earlier and released one under restrictions. Police did not identify the suspects or specify the attack sites.
