The FBI received initial intelligence about the plot on June 10, days before the operation was carried out, according to a Telegram report citing U.S. law enforcement sources. The operation's Signal group contained 23 participants, five of whom have been arrested so far. One suspect said the group aimed to harm 'billionaires and capitalists' who receive funding from the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC.
The FBI received its first tip about the plot on June 10, according to a Telegram report citing U.S. law enforcement sources — days before the operation was executed. The suspects organized via a Signal group with 23 members; five have been arrested to date. One detainee said the group wanted to target 'billionaires and capitalists' who receive funding from the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC. This disclosure updates what The Zioneer first reported at 15:05 Tuesday: that the FBI had disclosed details of a foiled attack plot targeting AIPAC-related targets, with five arrests and a Signal chat of 23 participants.
The Zioneer previously reported (June 11) on a separate FBI operation that arrested eight pro-Palestinian suspects over organized threats against Jews and Israel supporters in the U.S. — a case that involved discussions of 'kill,' 'torture,' and 'terrorize' as well as vandalism with acid and paint. Separately, The Zioneer also reported at 15:02 Tuesday that the FBI foiled a multi-stage plot targeting the White House involving explosive-laden drones, snipers, and a second-wave assault team with over 20 suspects.
The new case shares several features with those earlier investigations — online coordination, anti-Israel motivation, and a sizeable suspect pool — but remains less detailed. The specific targets, the planned method of attack, and whether the plot was foiled or carried out have not been disclosed. The FBI has not issued a public statement on this investigation as of this report.
