Seven Jews Indicted for Committing Attacks Against Palestinians

Jerusalem, 25 April, 2016 (TPS) -- Indictments have been filed at the Central District Court in Lod against seven Israeli Jews, who are suspected of committing a series of nationally motivated attacks against Palestinians.

The suspects include 20-year-old Itamar Ben Aharon and Michael Kaplan, 22-year-old Pinhas Shandorfi, a 19-year-old soldier, and two minors. The identities of the latter three are restricted from publication by a court gag order.

The suspects were deemed a “Jewish terror cell” by the Shin Bet, that arrested them at the beginning of April. The suspected attacks all took place in the Talmonim bloc in the Binyamin region on the second half of 2015.
