JERUSALEM — Israeli police say they have arrested a radical Islamic cleric for inciting violence and involvement in an outlawed organization. Police say Raed Salah, head of the northern branch of the Islamic Movement in Israel, was questioned on Tuesday for allegedly supporting and inciting violence and terrorism. Israel outlawed the group in 2015. Israel’s Public Security Minister Gilad Erdan says Salah is “a danger to the public” for encouraging “radicalism and despicable acts of murder.”Copyright 2017 The Associated Press.
