Haaretz: Shin Bet hesitates on plan to kill 700 Palestinians
The Haaretz newspaper reveals a plan to kill around 700 Palestinians and displace thousands through the formation of 12 armed cells consisting of 72 Jewish individuals. The main suspect, a mathematics professor at Bar-Ilan University, has been plotting this for over three years. The plan involves coordinated attacks in Arab villages and mixed cities using firearms and sharp tools, aiming to instill fear and drive mass displacement of Palestinian residents. Despite the severity of the scheme, an investigation by Haaretz shows that the Shin Bet security service only conducted a brief inquiry and forwarded the case to the police, without serious investigation or direct intervention. This has sparked criticism regarding the security agencies’ failure to adequately address the threats posed by far-right ideological extremism. The plan also included attempts to contact right-wing political, media, and academic figures, as well as the sudden targeting of residential areas. Estimates suggest that the potential number of victims could range between 600 and 700 people, with the suspect believing that executing these attacks would lead to wider displacement of the Palestinian community both inside and outside occupied territories.
