The FBI arrested seven suspects this morning for allegedly harassing University of Michigan officials and business leaders, seeking to pressure them into severing ties with Israel after the October 7, 2023 attacks, Hebrew-language sources report.
This morning, FBI agents arrested seven individuals suspected of orchestrating a harassment campaign against University of Michigan officials and business figures, seeking to pressure them into severing ties with Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack. The arrests were reported by Hebrew-language news sources. The case underscores ongoing domestic efforts by anti-Israel activists to target academic and corporate institutions in the U.S. in the wake of the war. As The Zioneer reported on June 9, a USAID watchdog review found that 101 UNRWA staff were Hamas operatives who participated in the Oct. 7 attacks; the current investigation appears to be a separate federal action targeting post-Oct. 7 pressure campaigns. No further details on the identities of the suspects or charges filed have been released.
