7 Jews indicted for attacks on Palestinians

Seven Jewish suspects, including two minors and an IDF soldier, are indicted for 13 anti-Arab “price tag” attacks between 2009 and 2013.

The group is accused of a spate of attacks against Palestinians in the West Bank, which include torching property, throwing stones, firebombs, and other acts of vandalism. Other charges include aggravated assault with racist intent, carrying weapons illegally, attempted aggravated assault, and unlawful association.

Five of the seven suspects (including the minors and soldier, whose names remain under a gag order) live in the West Bank settlement of Nahliel. The four suspects who are identified are named as Pinchas Shendorfy, 22, who is married and lives in the Kiryat Arba settlement; Itamar Ben-Aharon, 20, of Nahliel; Shneur Dana, in his 20s, married with several children from the Ma’ale Efraim settlement; and Michael Kaplan, 20, also of Nahliel.

Three of the suspects are siblings, according to the Walla news site, and Dana is their brother-in-law.
