Ho-Hum, More Israeli-Arab Terrorism
Arutz 7 ^ | April 3, 2003 | staff

Posted on 04/03/2003 10:51:40 AM PST by Nachum

The discovery of yet another Israeli-Arab terrorist ring shook Israel today - although it appeared that the shock was somewhat less intense than that which Israel suffered last August when a gang of Israeli-Arab Hamas members from the Jerusalem area was uncovered. Today's shock was also apparently less powerful than the one experienced in October of last year when an Israeli-Arab terrorist cell was uncovered in Ramle. In fact, over the past year many terrorist initiatives by Arab citizens of Israel have been discovered, including three terrorists from Tzur Baher who were planning a string of major terror attacks in Jerusalem last December, the placing of a 40-kg. explosive on train tracks in the north last April, a youthful Israeli-Arab terrorist cell from Taibe, a resident of the Galilee who aided in an attempted attack in Tel Aviv in October, and more.

Today's news was released for publication by a court in the northern city of Acco (Acre). Three residents of the Galilee village of Manda have been under arrest for two weeks, and have reportedly confessed to enlisting, on their own volition, with the Islamic Jihad terrorist organization. They also agreed to carry out attacks in crowded areas such as a mall in the Krayot area north of Haifa.

I was in Acco (Acre) on my trip to Israel in December. It's like a crusader city with castles. It was the scene of a famous prison break by ex Premier Begin's group; The Irgun.

Since these guys are Israeli citizens, they should be tried for treason.
