Bar Ilan University Lecturer Indicted for Plotting Mass Attacks on Arabs

An indictment has been filed against a mathematics lecturer at Bar Ilan University, approximately 60 years old and residing in Petah Tikva, for allegedly planning a series of simultaneous attacks targeting Arab citizens in Israel. The prosecution claims the lecturer acted on nationalistic and ideological motives, intending to carry out coordinated terrorist operations aimed at killing hundreds of Arab citizens, including Bedouins, across various locations within Israel, as well as Arabs in East Jerusalem and the West Bank. According to the indictment, the lecturer's goal was to force the Arab population into permanent flight and displacement to Jordan, Lebanon, and the Gaza Strip. He reportedly named his plan "Ayit," a Hebrew acronym for "The People Will Carry Out the Evacuation." The prosecution has charged him with preparing to commit a terrorist act under the Counter-Terrorism Law, extortion by threat, and obstruction of justice. The case is being heard at the Central District Court in Lod.
