A 22-year-old pharmacy student from Beit Hanina, Jerusalem, has been indicted for allegedly planning large-scale attacks using chemical poisons and explosives. Mohammed Shalabi is accused of intending to leverage his academic knowledge and access to chemicals to carry out attacks against security forces and Jewish civilians. Authorities claim Shalabi downloaded instructions for creating explosives and poisons from Telegram groups affiliated with terrorist organizations. He reportedly purchased chemicals in Ramallah and stored them in his room, even conducting a chemical experiment in his bathroom to test the substances. The indictment further alleges that in early 2025, motivated by anger over parking tickets issued to worshippers near a mosque in his neighborhood, Shalabi surveilled law enforcement officers for two months. He planned to plant an explosive device where they typically parked but abandoned the plot when the officers stopped frequenting the location.
