In the statement, it was stated that it was determined that the weapon in the images published as “the weapon of a person arrested in Hebron was confiscated” was not real, and the following statements were made:

“It has been determined that the weapon claimed to be a rifle in the photo in the aforementioned post is actually a toy and is on sale on many toy sites.
