Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Shin Bet Director David Zini warned of terror cells forming military infrastructure within Negev Bedouin communities, a phenomenon he called "very concerning." The rise is linked to weapons smuggling, radicalization, and social media propaganda. Defense officials are actively thwarting these efforts. However, Bedouin leaders have largely dismissed the claims as politically motivated and denied the existence of terrorism, pointing instead to neglect and criminality, while also calling for broader social solutions.
