Israel arrests mother of Palestinian attacker over support to kill Israelis
Israeli forces arrested Wednesday a Palestinian woman who praised her son, the perpetrator of a murderous attack on police in East Jerusalem, said the army and police.
Last Friday, three Palestinians attacked the Israeli police near the Old City of Jerusalem, fatally stabbing a 23-year-old police officer before being shot dead.
Israeli security forces arrested Zaynab Ankush, the mother of one of the assailants, on Wednesday morning "because of her recent calls ... to commit further attacks against the Jews and because of hate inciting statements" An army spokesman told AFP.
"He chose to die as a martyr (...) I am proud and I would have liked him to kill 20, 50, 100 (more)," Zaynab Ankouch, mother of Adel Ankush, said in an interview on Sunday with Israeli public television channel Kan.
