East Jerusalem Student Charged With Plotting Terror Attacks Over Parking Tickets
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
Prosecutors on Thursday charged Muhammad Shalbi, a 22-year-old al-Quds University student, with plotting terror attacks and manufacturing explosives in East Jerusalem. Shalbi was allegedly motivated by religious radicalization following the October 7 attacks and sought revenge for parking tickets issued to mosque worshippers. His plans included targeting law enforcement and acquiring materials for chemical weapons. The charges were filed shortly after a professor at Bar Ilan University was accused of planning an attack on the Arab community.
