the third suspect, a 19-year-old soldier serving in the Hebron area, was detained by military police. They are suspected of conspiring to carry out a felony and arms trading.
Yesha Council complaint
The investigation began last week, when Yesha Councilofficials
filed a formal complaint against one of the suspects, Oshri Saada of Lod, who allegedly offered to sell grenades to right-wing activists who would then carry out a terror attack that would thwart the Gaza disengagement plan.
The council admits that Saada was an organization activist, and was even provided with a mobile phone and organizational car. But they say he was considered "problematic" and "unreliable", and he had these items revoked when his bragging about criminal connections aroused suspicion.
Yesha Council officials do not reject the possibility Saada could be a government provocateur, placed inside the movement by the Shin Bet security service.
Grenades planned for IDF, police
Police arrested Saada on Sunday after planting an undercover
agent to make contact with him. The suspect told police he was to have received the grenades from his soldier friend, Assaf Suzanna, serving in the Hebron area.
The suspect also told investigators that he planned to sell the grenades to
right-wing activists who had planned to use them against policemen and IDF troops during the slated evacuation of the Gaza Strip in the summer.
Following Saada's confession, a third suspect, Tzahi Suzanna, brother of soldier Assaf, was arrested, and the soldier was detained by military police. In a search of the brothers' apartment police found nine loaded rifle magazines and other military equipment. The two have denied the allegations against them.
