Dit is een heel slecht teken: ondanks steeds openlijker geuite sympathie met de Palestijnen, komt het zelden voor dat Israëlische Arabieren zelf aanslagen beramen. Zelfs tijdens de tweede intifada, toen een opstand van Arabieren in Israël werd gevreesd, bleef hun steun aan de intifada beperkt tot in het uiterste geval het voor chauffeur spelen voor de terroristen.
Ondertussen blijven veel vragen onbeantwoord: Zijn deze drie Arabieren deel van een groter netwerk? Werken zij samen met, of in opdracht van, Palestijnse terreurorganisaties? Is dit incident een teken van radikalisering onder Israëlische Arabieren?

The following has been permitted for publication:
During April and May 2008, the Israel Security Agency and the Israel Police arrested the following three men from Lod: Amir Nafar, 20 (studying sharia at a Jordanian university); Iman Kadura, 26; and Yassin Hinawi, 19, for conspiring to abduct and murder an IDF soldier in order to bargain for the release of Palestinian security prisoners. They planned to video the abducted soldier, murder him and hide his body.
Last December, during the Eid al-Adha holiday, Amir Nafar invited his co-conspirators to a secret and urgent meeting in the Great Mosque in Lod. There, Nafar explained his support for the idea of jihad and said that it was every Muslim's duty to uphold the precept of jihad against the infidels. After Kadura and Hinawi expressed their support for jihad, Nafar proposed that they perpetrate the aforesaid abduction and murder. Kadura expressed his support and began to save money for the terrorist attack whereas Hinawi did not respond to the proposal.
Their investigation shows that Nafar, Kadura and Hinawi are extremists who were heavily influenced by fanatic Islamic elements. They were familiar with the Islamic Movement led by Sheikh Raad Salah. Nafar went to study sharia in Jordan and was exposed to radical Islamic ideas and influences that likely spurred him into terrorist activity.
The three will be indicted today (Monday), 2.6.08, in the Petah Tikva District Court. Nafar and Kadura will be charged with aiding the enemy in wartime and criminal conspiracy. Hinawi will be charged with failing to report a crime.vandals and malicious content
