Why It Matters
The trial process of an academic in Israel has begun for allegedly preparing a plan for a mass attack targeting Palestinians.
According to Israel Hayom newspaper, an unnamed mathematics professor established a terrorist network to carry out attacks that would kill more than 700 people with the aim of mass exodus of Palestinians.
According to the indictment submitted to Israel's Lod District Court against an academic in his 60s working at Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, the academician created a plan aimed at harming the Palestinian population through coordinated and simultaneous attacks over the course of three years.
The mathematics professor, whose identity has been confidential, aimed to ensure the mass migration of Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank, as well as Palestinians who are Israeli citizens, with this plan.
The academic, who started his work in February 2023 to implement the plan, founded an organization consisting of 72 Jews, including himself, and created 6 cells of 12 people each, equipped with firearms, axes and hammers, to target Palestinians in cities with mixed populations.
Anticipating that he would receive coordinated support from some elements in the Israeli army, the Israeli academic planned to cause the death of 700 people by carrying out air strikes and artillery attacks on the centers of Palestinian cities.
The Israeli academic, who identified the Tuba-Zangariya Bedouin village in the north of the country as one of the targets, prepared a 20-page ideological manifesto for the organization he founded while carrying out expeditions in the region.
The Israeli academic did not neglect to prepare handbooks containing weapons supply, cell structures, targets, dress codes and secret protocols in order to provide information to potential organization members.
He attempted to include Israeli, right-wing politician Moshe Feiglin, who aimed to create a new "Nakba" by driving Palestinians out of the border with bombardments that would be carried out without discrimination against women and children; He tried to "recruit people" by attending events organized by Feiglin throughout 2025, but was unsuccessful.
