Professor Shachar Nevo, a 59-year-old mathematics lecturer at Bar-Ilan University and resident of Petah Tikva, has been charged with planning large-scale attacks intended to harm hundreds of Israeli and Palestinian Arabs. His name was cleared for publication on Wednesday, two days after the indictment was filed. Nevo faces charges including preparation for an act of terror, extortion by threats, and obstruction of justice. The indictment, filed by the Central District Prosecutor's Office with the Lod District Court, details a meticulously planned operation Nevo called "E.Y.T." (meaning "the people will do transfer"). For over three years, from February 2023 until his arrest, Nevo allegedly worked on this plan to cause the mass flight and expulsion of Arab and Bedouin residents.
The indictment states Nevo's plan involved establishing 12 armed cells with dozens of participants who would launch a coordinated, simultaneous attack at friction points, mixed cities, and traffic routes. To advance the scheme, Nevo conducted reconnaissance, including surveying the village of Tuba-Zangariyya to examine access and attack routes, writing detailed instruction documents, and attempting to recruit collaborators. He took measures to conceal his activities, such as writing documents by hand, wearing a mask to meetings, using false identities, and employing bystanders' phones.
In his recruitment efforts, Nevo approached public figure Moshe Feiglin and his party, seeking to enlist activists. When refused, Nevo allegedly sent threatening and extortionate letters, warning he would harm Feiglin's public standing before elections. Feiglin confirmed that upon receiving the threats, his organization immediately filed a formal complaint with the Israel Police, thanking law enforcement for their swift action.
The prosecution emphasized Nevo's high level of danger, noting that his actions stem from an extreme and systematic ideology. They highlighted that advancing such a plan during a period of security tension significantly amplifies the threat to the public and national security.
