Jerusalem man indicted on terror charges for several West Bank attacks on Palestinians

A 25-year-old man from Jerusalem is indicted on terror charges after allegedly taking part in three separate Jewish nationalist attacks on West Bank Palestinians and their property, one of which left a man in a coma.

The defendant, Israel Grossman, is accused of participating in the brutal beating of a Palestinian man who worked on a poultry farm on the outskirts of a village located south of Nablus.

The victim, 32-year-old Zahran Shanabla, suffered serious injuries and remains hospitalized and in a coma as a result of the attack in April.

Earlier this year, in February, Grossman allegedly vandalized property, smashed windows and set fire to a car in the town. Prosecutors say he and several other accomplices were masked and equipped with clubs and axes.

The indictment also implicates Grossman in an attack on security forces that took place in May, in which he tried again to reach the poultry farm in an ATV, while equipped with a weapon resembling a gun, pepper spray and an axe.

When police tried to arrest him, he fled and hit the forces with his vehicle, the indictment reads.

Grossman is charged with a litany of offenses including arson, causing aggravated bodily harm with a terror motive, rioting and malicious property damage.
