The Ben-Gvir Drone Plan
Two Palestinians from the Nablus area have been indicted on allegations that they built a terror cell, amassed weapons and planned to assassinate National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir with an explosive drone.
According to the military prosecution, the two had worked together since late 2023. They allegedly acquired M-16 and M-4 rifles, a Kalashnikov, pistols, a shotgun and ammunition.
They held shooting practice and recruited additional operatives. Prosecutors say they considered shootings, car bombs, explosive drones and the kidnapping of IDF soldiers.
The plan for Ben-Gvir came after the suspects watched footage of the minister arriving at an attack scene in 2024. One allegedly proposed staging an initial attack, waiting for Ben-Gvir to arrive and then shooting him.
When the other suspect raised the obstacle of ministerial security, the discussion turned to an explosive drone.
One defendant allegedly sought help obtaining drone parts from China; his partner refused to buy them, according to the indictment.
Ben-Gvir said this was the 11th attempt on his life. The indictment describes a plot that never reached execution.
It also shows the security problem around a minister who has made himself a permanent feature of attack scenes, police operations and cameras.
