Police officers in Ogden, Utah, arrested Skyler Rose, 21, on Dec. 23 and booked him on terror, gun, bomb and drug charges after he allegedly vowed to harm Jews.

After executing a search warrant at Rose’s home, officers found “explosive devices, explosive materials and multiple firearms,” the Ogden Police Department said.

It added that the department received a tip from the FBI that Rose had allegedly threatened “serious violence,” which he “directed broadly toward members of the Jewish community and their places of worship.”

Among the charges against him are seven felony counts of possessing a weapon of mass destruction.

Heritage Minister Amichai Eliyahu said: “After years in which sites were neglected or looted, Israel is making historical corrections.”
Using this phrase against Israel is no less absurd than labeling sport-hooliganism and violence at mass demonstrations in the West as officially sponsored, government-sanctioned violence.
“Nearly eight years after the shooting, our gratitude and admiration for the heroic bravery and selfless dedication of the first responders that day endures,” said U.S. Attorney Troy Rivetti.
Yitzhak Ben-Hebron escaped Arab riots as a child and later returned to rebuild the Jewish community in the city.
Army Maj. Gen. Jasper Jeffers III said that future conflicts will require allied special operations forces to integrate quickly and operate with compatible systems.
“The strength and resilience you and your families demonstrate throughout the recovery and rehabilitation process inspire the entire nation of Israel,” the IDF chief said.
