Five members of a cell called "Free Men of the Galilee" were indicted Monday at court in Nazareth for planning to kidnap soldiers, gunfire attacks and throwing incendiary devices at policemen.




Two of the defendants are minors from Kafr Kana. The three others are brothers Ala (23) and Yusuf (21) Moussa, and Mohammed Anbatawi (20), all from Kafr Manda. Anbatawi is a suspect in the murder of IDF soldier Oleg Shaichat, but has not yet been indicted in this case.

The five are also accused of membership in a terror organization that operated in the Lower Galilee between October 2000 and April 2004. They allegedly planned to carry out terror attacks in Israel to avenge Israel's killings of Palestinians and its actions in the territories.
