Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) arrested an individual who allegedly planned to set fire to a synagogue using Molotov cocktails and then leave for Syria to join a terrorist organization, the ultra-Orthodox-news outlet B’Chadrei Charedim reports.
At 15:19 Jerusalem, a new report from the ultra-Orthodox outlet B'Chadrei Charedim, citing an official FSB statement, describes a suspect arrested in a separate incident who allegedly planned to firebomb a synagogue with Molotov cocktails and then travel to Syria to join a terrorist organization. The specific synagogue targeted was not named. This development follows an earlier thread: at Mon 10:40 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that Russian security forces foiled an attack on a synagogue in Yaroslavl, arresting a suspect and seizing weapons (v1). Minutes later, still at Mon 10:40, a second version (v2) clarified that the arrested suspect was planning to set fire to the Yaroslavl synagogue building. By Mon 14:02 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reiterated that Yaroslavl plot, noting it was a separate case from today's new B'Chadrei Charedim report. The earlier Yaroslavl details remain sparse – no suspect identity or specific plot details beyond the arson plan. The new report adds a follow-on intention to join a terror group in Syria, a detail absent from the Yaroslavl reporting.
