According to police, the four are residents of Jerusalem and not Hebron, and as such, police intend to release them and ban them from the area.
At around the same time, police forces detained a 17-year-old girl who was throwing stones at an Arab neighborhood in Hebron. The girl, also not a resident of the city, was questioned but did not cooperate with police.
At around 2:00 a.m. police at the force barracks in the region noticed two cars whose tires had been slashed. There are currently no suspects for this incident.
Wednesday, dozens of youths from Hebron had slashed several tires of vehicles in the city, including vehicles belonging to the Border Guard Police. They also shattered windows and spray-painted a Star-of-David on a Palestinian house.
A week prior, dozens of right-wing activists had rioted next to the disputed house in Hebron, leaving one soldier injured. They sprayed graffiti on a nearby mosque and graves in the adjoining graveyard.
