Arab Israeli indicted for firebombing police station in pro-Hamas gesture

An Arab Israeli man has been indicted for allegedly attempting to torch a police station on December 24 for a terror-related motive, the Israel Police and the Shin Bet say in a joint statement.

The statement says the suspect, 20-year-old Razi Hamada from Shfaram, threw a firebomb at the city’s police station out of identification with the Hamas terror group.

A few weeks earlier, he allegedly planned to set fire to the commercial area around Haifa’s oil refineries.

The statement says Hamada decided to act due to the war against Hamas in Gaza, after watching various media outlets, including Qatar’s staunchly anti-Israel Al Jazeera.

He acted alone, the investigation has revealed.

The indictment was filed today at the Haifa District Court.
