Three Jerusalem Arabs Jailed for 8 Years for Planning Attack on Wedding Hall

Three Jerusalem Arabs will be spending 7 to 8 years in jail for planning to disguise themselves as Hareidi Jews to enter a wedding hall and carry out a mass murder.

The Jerusalem District Court sentenced two of the men to eight years in prison, and a third terrorist who had last-minute thoughts and dropped out from the plot received a term of seven years.

All three were between 19 and 21 years old when arrested and are from the Jabel Mukaber neighborhood, adjacent to Talpiot..

The plan had reached an advance stage, when they had found a Palestinian Authority arms dealer to sell them an Uzi sub-machine gun for $12,000 and had staked out the wedding hall in the Bayit Began neighborhood.
