Bar-Ilan Math Lecturer Indicted for Planning Mass Terror Attacks Against Arabs

The State Prosecutor's Office has filed an indictment against a mathematics lecturer at Bar-Ilan University, approximately 60 years old and residing in Petah Tikva. He is accused of devising a radical and murderous plan, known as "Ayit" (meaning "Eagle" and an acronym for "A People Will Do Transfer"), over more than three years. The plan aimed to cause the deaths of hundreds of Arab and Bedouin citizens, as well as Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and East Jerusalem, through armed terror cells, with the ultimate goal of their expulsion.

The indictment details that the defendant formulated a comprehensive strategy involving 12 terror cells equipped with handguns, rifles, axes, and hammers. For a year and a half, he attempted to recruit operatives and conducted reconnaissance in Touba-Zangaria. In his efforts to advance the plan, he repeatedly approached Moshe Feiglin to recruit him and gain access to additional activists. After Feiglin refused, the lecturer allegedly sent him extortion letters threatening to release damaging material ahead of elections.

The prosecution has charged him with security offenses including preparation for a terror act, extortion by threats, and obstruction of justice. They are requesting his detention until the conclusion of legal proceedings. His name is currently under a gag order.
