Shin Bet, police thwart Arab-Israeli plan to bomb Jewish holy sites in north
2024-09-27
[IsraelTimes] Three suspects indicted this week on charges of planning acts of terrorism, developing weapons with aid from West Bank Palestinians illegally in Israel
Who will they turn out to be: Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Fatah, or the Northern Branch — the militant arm of the Islamic Movement? (Islamic Movement is what the Muslim Brotherhood in Israel calls itself. The Southern Branch, which concentrates on good works and politics, now calls itself the Ra’am Party, and not only actively participates in Israeli elections but from time to time is a loyal active member of the government.)
The Shin Bet and Israel Police thwarted a planned terror bombing and shooting attack at Jewish holy sites in the north last month, security forces announced in a joint statement on Thursday.

The agencies said they arrested Basel Abahara, a 23-year-old Galilee resident who planned the attack, and two minors in mid-August. An indictment was filed against them this week charging them with preparing an act of terrorism and producing weapons.

During their interrogations, it became evident that Abahara intended to set off explosives at the graves of sages in the north to target Jews who came to pray there and follow up the earth-shattering kabooms by shooting at the would-be victims, the statement said.

It added that in the months prior to his arrest, Abahara sought advice from West Bank Paleostinians who had illegally entered Israel on how to build the explosives.

Abahara had recruited the minors who were arrested with him to help carry out the attack, the statement said.

The statement said that the Shin Bet and police seized communication devices, a military vest, and materials used to build bombs during the investigation, and that preparations for the attack were in the early stages when the arrest was made.

During Abahara’s interrogation, he also revealed that he had thrown a Molotov cocktail at a road near his home at the beginning of the Israel-Hamas

...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return.

for the past year, since the terrorist organization’s October 7 attack on Israel in which some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, were killed and 251 were taken hostage.

The Shin Bet and police said the three suspects’ actions "are even more severe when being carried out by Israeli citizens at wartime."
