A 60-year-old mathematics professor from Petah Tikva, Shachar Nevo, has been identified as the suspect in a plot to carry out large-scale, nationalistically motivated terror attacks in Israel. The Lodd Court authorized the release of his name two days after he was indicted. Nevo, an associate professor at Bar-Ilan University, was reportedly planning a series of coordinated attacks targeting Arab and mixed Israeli communities. The plan involved 72 Jewish militants simultaneously creating panic to incite the flight of the Arab population. Nevo was seeking individuals and resources to implement his scheme. He allegedly attempted to recruit Moshe Feiglin and activists from his movement, resorting to blackmail after they refused. Feiglin's party reported Nevo to the police, leading to his arrest. Nevo also approached other prominent right-wing activists, including podcast host Tamir Dortal, but they declined to participate. Bar-Ilan University has removed Nevo's page from its website and suspended him pending the trial, stating they are shocked by the accusations and condemn any actions contrary to the university's values. The university confirmed Nevo had been a lecturer since 1999 and became an associate professor after completing his doctorate.
