Two Israelis are charged with terror offenses relating to rioting last month by hundreds of settlers who rampaged through Palestinian West Bank communities in the wake of a deadly terror attack.
The accused are Yedidya Siani, 22, and David Oved, 30, who were arrested and indicted following a joint investigation by the Israel Police and the Shin Bet.
Siani is charged with an act of terror under aggravated circumstances, assault causing injury for racist motives, and rioting for racist motives, for his part in rioting in the Palestinian village of Umm Safa.
Oved is indicted on charges of a terrorist act of rioting resulting in damage and a terrorist act of insulting religion. He is accused of breaking into a mosque in the village of Urif and defacing copies of the Quran.
