Police officers and members of the Jewish Department of the Shabak detained a vehicle early Wednesday morning carrying four residents of the community of Gav HaHar, as part of the search for the Jewish rioters who burned buildings and vehicles in the Arab village of Huwara on Sunday.
The residents were detained not far from the location where Hillel and Yagel Yaniv were shot to death by terrorists on Sunday afternoon.
The police continued to detain the four residents even after they presented their orders to report for IDF reserve duty. They were detained until the arrival of members of the Shabak’s Jewish Department, who checked their names, and only then were they released to continue on their way to their army base.
In footage from the incident which was filmed by the residents, the police are seen allowing Palestinian Arabs to pass while the Jewish residents continued to be detained.

“When an Arab vehicle arrived at the intersection, the policeman said to his friend – is it Arab? So let him pass,” said one of the reservists.
“We were very upset. The security establishment has forgotten who is friend and who is foe and seems to be turning itself into a UN force. Our blood is boiling, Hillel and Yagel’s family are sitting shiva. The murderer has not yet been caught, and a few hundred meters from the scene of the attack, the security forces stop and detain us Jewish residents when we ourselves are on our way to serve the security of the state. It’s inconceivable,” said the resident.
