Jordanian man attacks Florida power facility and private businesses over their support for Israel

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Prosecutors say a Jordanian man living in central Florida caused hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage at a solar power facility and vandalized multiple private businesses over their perceived support for the state of Israel. Court records show 43-year-old Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen was arrested last month, and a federal grand jury returned an indictment against him last week on four counts of threatening to use explosives and one count of destruction of an energy facility. Court records say Hnaihen began vandalizing businesses in June and leaving behind “warning letters” addressed to the United States government. Investigators say Hnaihen also broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield, Florida, and destroyed solar panel arrays.
