Police arrested six female residents of West Bank settlements on Sunday on suspicion of carrying out a string of nationalistic crimes against IDF forces and Palestinian property in recent weeks.
The suspects, five minors and a woman, are suspected of vandalizing IDF property, interfering with army forces, and cutting down hundreds of Palestinian-owned olive trees near the village of Kusra, in the Binyamin region of the West Bank, police said.
This ought to be interesting - and even surprising.
What is Jewish feminism coming to?
P.S.
According to Walla site, it is 7 in all. And they were all arrested and held for a day just after the original "crime" was committed but released. it seems there's a newly formed unit and they decided to rearrest the suspects.
Here's Ynet:
The National Serious and International Crimes Unit has been holding a secret investigation of the matter for the past two months.
Settlers are claiming that officers arrested the suspected immediately after the alleged events and released them the next day on the condition they stay away from east Binyamin for one month.
"These are false arrests," claims Attorney Adi Keidar, who represents the suspects. "This happened two months ago and the girls were released with the police's consent. Now the Serious Crime Unit suddenly remembers to arrest them? It's a scandal.
"Moreover, they are suspected of very minor offences. How does such a case end up with a police elite unit?"
Associates of the suspects also leveled criticism at the investigation.
