Israel Police said an 18-year-old West Bank resident was arrested at Ben-Gurion Airport while preparing to travel to Uman, on suspicion of involvement in several violence and arson incidents. A serving soldier was also arrested with Military Police cooperation on suspicion of involvement in those incidents. In separate cases, police detained a 16-year-old West Bank resident at the airport on suspicion of nationalist offenses in Samaria, and a 29-year-old resident in northern Israel for allegedly repeatedly violating a military commander's order. Police said the four arrests join the previously reported detention of a 19-year-old suspect in the Qusra attack.
