Police believe the suspects were mainly involved in the gathering of intelligence prior to the raid and subsequent rioting at the army base.
It is estimated that the rightists had followed the activity of IDF forces in the area as part of the preparations for the raid and reported their findings to the right-wing activists who eventually rioted at the base. Some of the rioters were later arrested in Jerusalem.
  • Police were able to arrest the six rightists after gathering information from computers that had been confiscated from the home of far-Right activists some two weeks ago.
Seven other suspects have already been detained in connection with the incident.
