A Gazan native living in the United States on a fraudulent visa reportedly armed himself and assembled a group of fighters to invade Israel after learning that the terror group Hamas broke through Israel’s border defenses and launched a surprise attack on Oct. 7, 2023.
Mahmoud Amin Ya’qub al-Muhtadi is a 33-year-old resident of Lafayette, Louisiana, according to a Friday announcement from the U.S. Department of Justice.
Court documents allege that Al-Muhtadi is part of the National Resistance Brigades, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine. This Gaza-based paramilitary group is said to have participated in the Hamas-led terror attack in southern Israel that killed at least 1,200 people and took around 250 others hostage.
“After hiding out in the United States, this monster has been found and charged with participating in the atrocities of October 7 — the single deadliest day for Jewish people since the Holocaust,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi in a statement. “While nothing can fully heal the scars left by Hamas’s brutal attack, this Department’s Joint Task Force October 7 is dedicated to finding and prosecuting those responsible for that horrific day, including the murder of dozens of American citizens.”
