Modiin Illit Resident Arrested For Inciteful Placards Against ‘Army Of Destruction’

Mar 19, 2026·1 min read

JERUSALEM (VINnews) — A resident of the charedi town of Modiin Illit was arrested on Thursday morning on suspicion of what police described as “public incitement against various security forces.” The suspect was taken in for questioning at the local police station.

Earlier today, during an operation to enhance the safety of local residents and while patrolling the city, officers noticed a sign posted publicly on a building on Meshech Chochma Street.

According to police, one of the signs contained inciting content, stating that: “Enlistment, volunteering, or working in the army of destruction, the police, or in national or civil service by any name they may be called is forbidden to the point of ‘be killed rather than transgress (Yehareg V’Al Yaavor).’”

Following the discovery of the sign directed against security forces, officers arrested the 30-year-old suspect who lives in the apartment, after he allegedly attempted to ignore and evade them despite their demands. He was subsequently taken for questioning at the Modiin Illit police station.

It should be noted that throughout the city, there are many homes inhabited by members of the anti-enlistment “Jerusalem Faction” who display signs opposing enlistment in the army or other security services.
