create explosives

The Haifa District Court sentenced Husam Hafez Suaftma to a seven-year jail
term and a two-year suspended sentence for aiding the enemy during wartime. 

 

Suaftma was asked by his brother, an Islamic Jihad member, to purchase
fertilizer for him to create explosives - but was arrested before making the
purchase. 

 

Suaftma, a Palestinian resident of the town of Tubas, converted to Judaism
and took the name Assaf Ben David, but recently converted back to Islam. 

 

In his charge sheet, Suaftma-Ben David's life story is detailed. He was born
in 1968 in the village of Tubas in the district of Nablus. In the early
1990s, aged 25, he began a process of converting to Judaism and in 1996 he
received Israeli citizenship. He married an Israeli wife, and his two
stepsons serve in the military. The couple has another two children. 

 

Suaftma's brother, Salah, continued to reside in Tubas and became a central
Islamic Jihad member. He was a wanted terror suspect by security forces for
a prolonged period. Towards the end of 2006, it is claimed, a link between
the brothers was established, and they plotted to aid Islamic Jihad. 

 

Suaftma agreed to purchase a large quantity of standard acid, a central
component in the preparation of explosives. "To realize the link (with his
brother) and advance it, the accused purchased, and received from Salah,
phone cards so that he could be in touch with his brother without anyone
knowing," the indictment said. 

 

 
It was also claimed that Ben David turned to his sister, Saida Suaftma, and
asked her to act as a go-between between himself and Salah. 

 

In the end, the plot was not carried out. On December 20, the IDF succeeded
in tracking Salah Suaftma down, and he was killed in an exchange of fire
with IDF soldier. 

 

After his funeral, Ben David went to an Islamic court and converted back to
Islam, due to, among other reasons, the fact that he faced calls during the
funeral that he was raising soldiers for the Jewish army.
