Bar-Ilan Lecturer Accused of Planning Attacks Revealed Plot to Security Figures, Academics

A Bar-Ilan University mathematics lecturer, accused of planning attacks against Arab-Israeli citizens and Palestinians, also revealed his plot to former security personnel, podcast hosts, academics, and his own wife. His wife was reportedly approached to connect him with "Hilltop Youth," a radical settler movement. The revelations were broadcast Monday by Kan News. According to the report, some individuals who were exposed to the lecturer's plan reported him to the police, while others did not, later admitting this was a mistake. The accused allegedly sent vague messages to advance meetings that would serve his plan. In one message, he wrote, "Ahead of the elections, I have really good ideas for uniting the right and especially for growing the huge Zionist majority from the few percent of the deranged left. Urgent, before various people announce the establishment of hopeless parties."
