18-year-old Mohammad Mafarja was indicted Wednesday for planting the bomb on a bus in Tel Aviv, which wounded 29 people at the height of last month's eight-day conflict between “Israel” and the Gaza Strip, AFP reported.

In a hearing at Tel Aviv Magistrates Court, the Palestinian young man, who lives in Taibe village in the occupied territories, was charged with “aiding the enemy during war, dozens of counts of attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a crime, causing an explosion and wounding dozens of people”.

According to the charge sheet, “Mafarja got on a Tel Aviv bus on November 21 and placed a bomb there which was activated after he got off, with his accomplice Ahmad Moussa using a cell phone to remotely trigger the blast.”

The Tel Aviv district attorney's office said that “the two had decided to stand by Gaza and avenge the death of (Hamas military commander) Ahmad Jaabari.”

“They therefore decided to aid Hamas and attack innocent Israelis,” he further considered.
