Anti-Israel Jordanian national targeted US businesses over Gaza war, DOJ says | LiveNOW from FOX

A Jordanian national, motivated by his hate for Israel, threatened to “explode everything” at several businesses and facilities in Orlando, Florida, including two Starbucks locations, a McDonald’s and an energy facility, causing extensive damage in the process, the Department of Justice reported.
Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen, 43, was indicted earlier this week on four counts of threatening to use explosives and one count of destruction of an energy facility after incidents that happened on June 25 and June 29 of this year, DOJ court documents allege.
Hnaihen, a citizen from Jordan who lives in Orlando, was "motivated in part by a desire to target businesses for their perceived support of Israel" amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, Attorney General Merrick Garland said, adding that he threatened to "carry out hate-fueled mass violence."
"Such acts and threats of violence, whether they are targeting the places that Americans frequent every day or our country’s critical infrastructure, are extremely dangerous and will not be tolerated by the Justice Department," Garland added.
Federal investigators left the aforementioned "warning letters" at businesses in Orange County after allegedly smashing their glass front doors.
