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.
