Pro-Israel terrorist arrested before assassination of pro-Palestinian activist
Press TV – March 28, 2026
The New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) have arrested Alexander Heifler, a member of a pro-Israel terror group, for plotting the assassination of a well-known pro-Palestinian activist.
Heifler, 26, was charged in federal court on Friday with making and possessing Molotov cocktails that investigators said he was planning to use in the assassination attempt.
He was taken into custody at his home in the neighboring state of New Jersey, after detectives and federal agents searched his residence and found eight Molotov cocktails.
Police identified Heifler as a member of a branch of the so-called Jewish Defense League (JDL), a pro-Israel group designated by the FBI as a terrorist organization.
An undercover sting revealed that he was planning an assassination attempt of Nerdeen Kiswani, 31, the co-founder of the pro-Palestinian group Within Our Lifetime (WOL), according to court documents.
Heifler had been planning the attack since at least February, when he discussed building and using Molotov cocktails for “self-defense” on a group video call that included an undercover detective, Investigators said.
The undercover detective met him in person the next day and then two more times in the weeks that followed, including Thursday, when they built the eight Molotov cocktails together in Heifler’s home. He was arrested shortly thereafter, according to the criminal complaint.
While making the weapons, Heifler told the undercover agent that he planned to throw some of the Molotov cocktails at cars and at least one directly into Kiswani’s home.
Heifler is being held without bond until his next court appearance. If convicted, he could face up to 20 years in prison.

‘Conspiracy Theory’ Now Fact: Greater Israel Has Arrived
By Kit Klarenberg | Mint Press News | January 28, 2025
Ever since Tel Aviv’s 1948 creation, much has been said and written about ‘Greater Israel’ – the notion Zionism’s ultimate end goal is the forcible annexation and ethnic cleansing of vast swaths of Arab and Muslim lands for Jewish settlement, based on Biblical claims this territory was promised to Jews by God. The mainstream media typically dismisses this concept as antisemitic conspiracy theory, or at most the fringe fantasy of a minuscule handful of extremist Israelis.
