JERUSALEM — Several Jewish teenagers have been arrested on suspicion of carrying out “serious terror offences,” including the killing of a Palestinian woman three months ago, Israel’s internal security agency made public on Sunday. Under Israeli law, authorities are allowed to detain and interrogate terrorism suspects for up to 21 days without lawyers present. “Such action should be condemned, we must be allowed to continue with our activities to prevent terrorism, whether Jewish or Palestinian,” the Shin Bet said. This is not the first time that Jewish youths have been arrested on charges of terrorism or murder of Palestinians, although such cases are rare. Three Israeli youths residing in settlements were charged in that attack.
