The Tel Aviv District Court sentenced Suhayb Jabarin, 34, to three years in prison for his involvement in a gang's plot to assassinate rival gang members using explosive-laden drones. The plan, which was thwarted by police intervention, aimed to target rivals over disputes concerning control of economic territories. According to the indictment, Jabarin orchestrated the attacks from a luxury hotel in Herzliya.
The gang's objectives included retaliating for the murder of one of their members and eliminating a senior figure in the rival organization. Police described the scheme as involving drones equipped with fragmentation grenades and explosives, intended to detonate within rival gang compounds, causing death or injury.
Jabarin and eight other suspects were arrested before the plans could be executed. The indictments were filed by the Tel Aviv District Attorney's Office. Following legal challenges regarding evidence by Jabarin's defense attorneys, a plea deal was reached, leading to the conviction of all nine defendants.
In addition to Jabarin's sentence, seven other defendants received prison terms ranging from 30 to 36 months. One additional defendant was sentenced to nine months of community service.
