Indictments were handed down against four Arab terrorists, residents of the Jabil Mukhaber neighborhood of Yerushalayim for conspiring to carry out a terrorist attack at a chasenah. A terrorist worked in the Nof Yerushalayim Hall in Bayit Vegan and the cell planned a massacre of guests during a wedding.
The terrorists planned to dress as chareidim and enter a chasenah via the front door of the hall, and then pull out uzi submachine guns and open fire on guests. B’chasdei Hashem, they were arrested before they could carry out the diabolical plan.
The indictments were handed down in the Jerusalem District Court on Wednesday, 5 Adar I 5774 against the defendants, who range in age from 19-21.
One of the cell members was familiar with the hall, having worked there for a short period of time in the past. He explained to his colleagues it is a large hall, with weddings ranging from 800-1,500 people, making it an ideal locale for a mass murder. They approached a weapons dealer from the PA (Palestinian Authority) who told them two mini uzis would cost 50,000 NIS. They chose the weapon for it would be easy to conceal under chareidi garb and its effectiveness in close range situations.
B’chasdei Hashem they were apprehended before that could actualize their plan which R”L would have led to the loss of many lives chas v’sholom.

WHy do Israelis continue to hire Arabs?
“B’chasdei Hashem they were apprehended” – who apprehended them? Why don’t you thank them?
Flatbusher – because we prefer cheap over safe and right. Sad.
Yagel Libi – thanks for saying it! Hashem has Shlichim in this world.
Hiney Lo Yanum vlo Yishun Shomer Yisroel!
And will they become pawns in a “peace for prisoners” trade a few years down the line? This is shocking and disgusting, but we must never get caught off-guard. There are cells virtually everywhere, and a cell could appear to be any type of person. STAY VIGILANT!
