Cleared for publication Because as part of a joint investigation by the General Security Service and the North District Police, a resident of Shafaram, Razi Hamada, a young man of about 20, was recently arrested on suspicion of involvement in throwing a Molotov cocktail at the Shafaram police station on the night of 24/12/23.

His investigation by the Shin Bet and the Central Unit of the Northern District revealed that the accused threw a Molotov cocktail at the police station at the end of December 2023 and that a few weeks earlier, he planned to set fire to the commercial area around the refineries in Haifa.
In the investigation, evidence was collected showing that the accused decided to carry out these actions in light of his support for the terrorist organization Hamas and against the background of the fighting in the Gaza Strip, to which he was exposed on various news channels and in particular on the Al Jazeera network.

Participate in "Guardian of Walls" events
The findings of the investigation indicated that the accused acted alone, without an institutionalized infrastructure or connection to the terrorist organization Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and without additional involvement.
It also emerged as part of the investigation by the Shin Bet and the police, that the accused had previously taken part in disturbances that took place during the "Guardian of the Walls" events on the Temple Mount and in front of the police forces in Shafaram.
For his aforementioned actions, and based on the information received during the investigation this morning, 01/02/2024, the prosecutor's office will submit an indictment to the district court in Haifa.
The investigation revealed an alarming picture according to which the accused was influenced by content revealing identification with terrorist organizations and therefore sought to promote a serious security activity, which miraculously ended without casualties.
The General Security Service and the Israel Police take very seriously any involvement of Israeli citizens in dangerous security activities, and will continue to take the measures at their disposal to thwart any threat and bring all those involved to justice.
