01 · THE DISPATCH

A detailed indictment against a suspect in the October 2000 riots has been revealed by journalist Or Ravid. The charges allege the suspect actively planned abduction and murder attacks, and procured a harvesting knife stolen from a banana plantation at Kibbutz Kabri to execute them. Additionally, he faces charges for aggravated assault during the riots in Jerusalem, where he allegedly struck a Border Police officer with an axe, wounding him in the neck. As The Zioneer reported earlier (10:25 Jerusalem), the indictment frames the suspect's actions as part of a cell's broader plan. The suspect had reportedly threatened a victim with decapitation. His trial proceedings continue.
