Two Arabs have been arrested for a suspected plot to fire a rocket into a Jerusalem football stadium along with three other men who sold them firearms, Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service said Sunday.
Shin Bet, the Jewish state's domestic security agency, said two of the men, Mussa Hamada and Bassem Omari, had been active for several years in the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood in Jerusalem.
They received support from the Muslim Brotherhood in Saudi Arabia, it said in a statement.
The two were formally charged on Sunday with "membership in and support for a terrorist organisation, firearms offences and conspiracy to commit a crime," it said. Three other men have already been charged with trafficking in weapons, it added.
