Two Palestinians, Mohammed Aburidi and Tareq Aburidi—24 and 19, respectively—face up to 15 years in federal prison for illegally possessing weapons and ammunition as aliens, according to indictments that the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida unsealed on Tuesday.

The two entered the country on nonimmigrant visas, the U.S. Justice Department stated.

Among the allegations in the suit against Montgomery County Public Schools is that students told one of the Orthodox student’s friends, “Don’t talk to him. He is a Zionist.”
The U.S. secretary of state listed conflicts across the Middle East, which he maintained are instigated directly by Tehran or its proxies.
The head of the country’s second-largest community blamed the far-left for widespread rioting, which he and others said featured Palestinian symbols.
Defense Minister Israel Katz warned that the Jewish state is prepared to launch powerful strikes against the Islamic Republic, including its energy infrastructure.
