A leading Arab Israeli actor has been detained on suspicion of “incitement to terrorism” over a social media post on the Israel-Palestine situation, her lawyers and police told AFP.

Maisa Abdel Hadi — who lives in the northern Israeli city of Nazareth — was arrested and placed in custody until Thursday, police said.

Hadi allegedly posted a picture of a bulldozer breaching the fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel on Oct 7. “Let’s go Berlin-style,” she wrote in a caption in reference to the fall of the Berlin Wall that partitioned Germany until 1989.

“She is accused of supporting terrorism,” her attorney Jaafar Farah, who is also the director of the human rights association Mousawat, told AFP.
