(IsraelNN.com) Police and security personnel disclosed Thursday evening they arrested five Arabs, including two Israeli citizens, who plotted to kill Jewish scientists and pilots. Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet) officers, the IDF and police were involved in the joint investigation and arrests, which were disclosed a short time ago.
Plans to carry out the assassinations were in the early stages when the five were arrested and they had carried out advanced training for a planned shooting attack on IDF soldiers at the Atara checkpoint near Jerusalem.
Their intended targets included university academics and pilots. The Israeli Arabs, from Shefaram, east of Haifa, are a 20-year-old student at the Bir Zeit University, near Ramallah, and a 19-year-old who studies in Jordan. The Palestinian Authority (PA) Arabs are from the Ramallah area.
The two Israeli Arabs raised funds to buy weapons and tried to contact Islamic Jihad headquarters in Syria.
Weapons were confiscated during the arrests.
Israeli Arabs have increasingly been involved in terrorist activities. Three eastern Jerusalem Arabs carried out separate attacks on Jews this year, including the gruesome massacre of eight students at the Merkaz HaRav yeshiva in the capital.

Police swooped down on the Lower Galilee city of Umm el Faham several days ago to arrest members of the Al Aqsa cell of the Islamic Movement for incitement.
Have no fear, my arab friend /sarc, by the end of October they will be set free /not sarc...
You know, there was a time when i used to attend rallies for Israel, march in marches, donate money, and attend some sort of services to hear pro Israel speeches...all this is gone now, i stopped everything, i still care, but its not the same...
The Israeli people are on their own...you deserve the government you elect.
I hear Livni might win next election, this corrupt government will be put back by the Israeli people...Israel is lost.
Look, a lot of us pro-Israel people are ticked off by much of the happenings of the Olmert regime. The next election, whienever it occurs, is more likely to be won by Likud and coalition partners, which would return Netanyahu to Prime Minister. That’s a lot more hopeful than merely saying “Israel is lost.”
Glad to hear that these plots were thwarted.
Livni will win Kadima and look how she would do against likud

The numbers show that if Livni heads Kadima, the Likud would receive 24 Knesset mandates and Kadima would take 23. With Mofaz at the helm, however, the Likud would win, 22-19. Labor would finish in 3rd place in either scenario, with 14 MKs (if Livni heads Kadima) or 17 (Mofaz).
Off topic, is your link to FR republic slow? Are you experiencing slowness with FR?
Too bad we are hearing about this.... I would rather read .. “5 dismembered and disfigured bodies were found scattered in pig farms around the country today.....
I hear you. People are usually the cause of their own misery.
Nothing surprising. Umm al Fahm is notorious for anti-Israel activity.

I know through the FR grapevine that Netanyahu has privately indicated his confidence that he will return as PM in the next election. Of course, it’s really not up to him as to when that election will occur.
Thanks for those poll results.
