Seven Jerusalem Arabs Arrested for Planning Assassinations on Behalf of Iran
(Times of Israel) Seven eastern Jerusalem residents have been arrested for planning attacks in Israel, including the assassination of an Israeli nuclear scientist and a mayor. The leader of the ring, Rami Alian, 23, was recruited by an Iranian agent. Alian told investigators he was aware he was working for Iranians and wanted to harm national security, citing the war in Gaza. The cell was active for two years. They were given various missions for which they were paid thousands of shekels, including graffiti demanding the release of hostages in Gaza and vandalism in Jerusalem, and also tasked with photographing various locations.
