Palestinian indicted for online threats against MK Lieberman
Fadi Abu al-Saud also identified with a Palestinian terrorist on his Facebook page and published photos of Hamas members wielding weapons.
Palestinian youth Fadi Abut al-Saud was indicted on Thursday on charges of threatening Yisrael Beytenu MK Avigdor Lieberman on his Facebook page.
Among other things, Saud allegedly wrote: "Hello, we will commit terror acts and suicides in the occupied territories of 48'. We will stab you, shoot you, and take revenge for all of the shahids (martyrs). Tomorrow or two days from now we will commit two terror acts in occupied territory. You are our target. Your murder is close, you son of a Jew."
Abu al-Saud, who was arrested after a complaint was filed by a Knesset cecurity guard, stands accused of threats, incitement, and support for a hostile organization. He was taken for questioning by the police after his arrest.
According to the indictment, thousands of followers were exposed to Abu al-Saud's publications. One of his posts allegedly stated, next to a picture of a knife: "The serration on the knife causes the entry of air into the stabbed person's body, which leads to certain death."
MK Lieberman said in response: "Security forces are working day and night, with dedication and determination, to thwart the terror threats toward the citizens of Israel, and I am glad that in this case as well, they managed to get their hands on the threatening party. This is not the first time threats have been made towards me, and just as always, I will continue to work for the things in which I believe and towards strengthening Israel's security. No one will deter me."
