State prosecutors on Wednesday filed an indictment at Jerusalem District Court against Israel Harpaz, 19, of Ma'alot-Tarshiha, accusing him of taking part in an organized, racially motivated riot that included assaults, arson, and widespread property damage in the Palestinian village of Jaba, allegedly carried out in retaliation after the evacuation of an illegal outpost last November.

According to the indictment, the events unfolded after security forces dismantled the outpost Tzur Misgavi, prompting dozens of individuals, including Harpaz, to gather - in what investigators describe as a planned act of revenge.

Prosecutors allege that Harpaz participated in a briefing during which those present were instructed to turn off their mobile phones, conceal their identities by wearing face coverings, and travel in a convoy of vehicles to the village of Jaba, with the intent of harming Palestinians and damaging property.

Cause for celebration

Ebe Iven though the powers that be have decided to considerably downsize the annual Lag Ba'omer celebrations on Mount Meron for security reasons, it's a reasonably safe bet that the very people who demonstrate against serving in the IDF will find a way to bypass the order on Meron, just as they ignored instructions not to travel to Ukraine for the High Holy Days to pray at the grave of Rabbi Nachman of Uman.
