A prominent Arab Israeli actor has been apprehended on suspicions of “incitement to terrorism” following a social media post related to Hamas’s October 7 attack on Israel, as confirmed by both the police and her legal representative on Tuesday.

Maisa Abdel Hadi, who resides in the northern Israeli city of Nazareth, was taken into custody on Monday and is scheduled to remain detained until Thursday, according to police sources. Her arrest is part of a growing number of detentions involving Arab Israelis for their social media posts discussing the recent conflict.

The social media post in question featured an image of a bulldozer breaching the fence between the Gaza Strip and Israel during the October 7 attack by Hamas, an incident that Israel claims resulted in over 1,400 casualties. In the accompanying caption, she wrote, “Let’s go Berlin-style,” referencing the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989.

Her attorney, Jaafar Farah, who also serves as the director of the human rights association Mousawat, stated, “She is accused of supporting terrorism.” The 37-year-old actress has appeared in numerous television series, films, and theatrical productions.

This incident is part of a broader trend, as Arab-Israeli singer Dalal Abu Amneh was also briefly detained recently over a social media post. Rights advocates and Israeli law enforcement have reported cases of members of Israel’s Arab minority and Palestinians in East Jerusalem facing job terminations, college expulsions, and arrests due to expressing solidarity with Gaza residents since the onset of the recent hostilities between Israel and Hamas.

It’s important to note that Israeli Arabs constitute around one-fifth of Israel’s total population.
