The Jerusalem Post reports: Madhat Bin Fuzi Abu Snina from Gaza was indicted on Sunday, accused of a range of security offenses including planting explosives at IDF positions and firing rockets into Israel.

Southern District prosecutors said that they filed at least 18 charges in the Beersheba District Court against Abu Snina, 24, who has been active in Hamas since 2007.

The charges include the accusation that he and several others tracked the movements of IDF vehicles in order to plant explosive devices and ambush them along several routes the military uses along the Gaza border.
